Suppose you want to do some work with your PC drives. A good starting point will be the drives collection. It holds a read-only collection of all available drives. A collection is not an array. It is much more difficult to iterate through a collection. You can do it only by using the Enumerator object. The Enumerator object supports the following methods: moveFirst(), moveNext(), item(), and atEnd(). The drives collection supports two properties by its own: count and item. The following example demonstrates both drives collection's properties as well as the Enumarator's methods:
The enumerator variable used above is coll. Be careful not to use the word enum, as it is apparently reserved but not documented.
