well, it was my inability to parse english, after all.

I'm pulling one at a time since the server code I'm fooling with right 
now only returns one at a time. The Req struct in /sys/include/9p.h is a 
one-at-a-time struct, near as I can tell:

	Dir d;

So I can read lotsa dir entries, but return one at a time via the server 
code I'm using. Ah, unless I am not parsing something else correctly ...

I plan to stop doing things this way at some point, but for now I have 
other fish to fry. Not to mention, attend some remedial English classes.
