Your not being negative, I'd rather not program then learn to program
badly (fixing symptoms versus actual bug).  Though I know there is
plenty of commercial software out there that does....(well that's for
another discussion)

After inserting this line "I" got thrown for a loop :)
First , there are two sections to the program (so far).  The first
section loops through the directory asking the users if they want to
move a file. If affirmative, that file gets pushed into the new array
(empty till then) via push.  The second section (after the pics2bmoved
is created) is suppose to go through and see if any files will be
overwritten, giving the user the choice to say yes or decline to
overwrite.  So, I think one problem is the destdir is continuing to
loop even after pics2bmoved is exhauster. Or something like that :).
Perhaps my next step would be to somehow combine both sections into one.

Thought I corrected that in my own reply to my original post.  Good
news on the loops though.  Is that considered progress
;)....nevermind.
