You're welcome.

Btw, the original script does have one bug:

     PathCount = split(ENVIRON["AWKPATH"],AwkPath,/;/)
     for (i = 1; i <= PathCount; i++) {
         while (getline < AwkPath[i]) {  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
             split($0,Data,/\//)
             print Data[2]
         }
     }

The line I indicated with "<<<<<<<<<<<<" should be

      while ((getline < AwkPath[i]) > 0)

because a negative return from getline means a failure.  With that
change, and the patch I posted, the script works as expected, showing
all the files in AWKPATH directories.
