Its in externals/hcs/folder_list.c

There are two reasons that I made it output each file separately.   
First, to make it similar in interface to [qlist] and [textfile].   
Next, and more importantly, most file processing is going to happen  
on a per-file basis, at least in my scripting experience.  For  
example, you might want to step thru a list of files and test which  
is bigger than 1MB, or which is a directory.

But yes, the completion bang should be added, and is planned...  then  
it would work really well with an [until].

If you need a list, you can use Cyrille's [tolist] which is in  
externals/mapping/tolist.pd, and will be in upcoming Pd-extended  
releases.
