Description:

Notice:
    This class is obsolete and does work only under UNIX. 
    Use Filename instead.

    This class is not available in other ST-systems;
    in contrast, ST-80 provides a Filename class.
    Therefore, Filename has taken over the functionality.

FileDirectories represent directories in the underlying host system.
They provide various methods to create/delete and query for files and/or
directories. Also, since FileDirectory inherits from Collection, it
provides all enumeration and testing protocol. For example, you can
loop over the filenames in a directory using 'aFileDirectory do:[:nm | ...]'.
