Ah!

I appreciate that you've cut this down from the code which is *really*
useful to you (incidentally, are you aware of [glob]?  Think of it as a
superior alternative to [exec /bin/ls]).  In your context, does
  set cmd list
give you a result closer to what you want than 
  set cmd #exec
?  If so, we'll take the time to explain the theory behind it.  Other-
wise, it's back to explaining your true requirements.
