Then why not call it a "Folder"?
>From my limited knowledge a UNIX directory is a file containing a list of
files. So, using the term "directory" a picture of a "directory" would be more
appropriate - e.g. a telephone book (OK *bad* example). Or a file of files...
My point - if you're going to use the same picture, and *most* other OS's
use the same term - use the same term!
