[Aldor-l] dir

Probably the most simplest way would be to call a C function. I have,
however, no idea which C function from what library does that.

Let's call the function foo. Then you would have to say

import {
   foo: (X, Y) -> Z;
} from Foreign C;

where, of course, X, Y, and Z, have to be the parameter types 
corresponding to your function foo. That might involve the Aldor type 
Pointer, I guess.

I guess, in this way you could also invoke external programs.

Maybe you should write a package with all that functionality. That 
should become part of LibAldor.

But Aldor is not open source :-(, so it's a question why you would want 
to contribute to Aldor.
