Subject:listing directories and chario

Hi,

I'm now working on the help system for the java poplog compiler and was 
wondering if anyone of you could point me to the adequate reference for 
the following:

How to open a string as a character device
How to open and list a directory
How to make a character consumer that reads lists

The current architecture for the system is that I will have a server 
(network based) running a pop11 process that served the documents 
required. I had to do this because I will need to use readline() in the 
procedure and if readline is put on a loop then no more code can be sent 
to the pop11 procedure as it would be read as an input line.

Besides that having a server is cool because you can just telnet to it 
and get the documents without the need to run the compiler in your own 
system :)

regards,

david.
