[Coco] Does the DIR option of OPEN work in Basic09 ?

[James Jones]

Directory entries need some massaging to turn into printable form; they are
not text. Even with that, unless you have /dd/SYS/SYS, you won't see an
entry for "SYS" in /dd/SYS. You will see one for ".", which corresponds to
/dd/SYS.
