Problem:
   When I request a directory listing of a subdirectory other than the
current directory using FILES "\subdir", I get the file list for the
different subdirectory, but I get the name of the current directory
displayed at the top. I expected the requested subdirectory name to be
at the top.

Response:
   The FILES statement in QuickBASIC is behaving in a manner
consistent with BASICA and GW-BASIC Version 3.20. It is not likely that
this behavior will change.
