How can I list the files that this code throws:


  list = fs.list("programs")
And them list them in order verically and if there are more than "x", it goes to the next lane, and so…

Check out the "ls" (or "list", can't recall which name it uses) program included with ComputerCraft. You'll see that it passes that list to one of the textutils functions. The API's wiki page should be able to help you out on which one of them best suits your needs.

So, you're doing something like this:


local list = fs.list("/programs")
textutils.pagedTabulate(list)

And list is returning as a table containing at least one entry?

I need the way to do that, so I just need to make that exact code you made?

Yes. But if you didn't know what to do, why did you say it didn't work in your last post?
