Simply don't do it (or limit your loop to < 100) - it's stupid coding IMO, there
are other ways to get/display a listing of all .txt files in a directory that
don't require the use of swpruncmd().

I can see no reason why you would want to do this and you've not said WHY you
want this type of functionality

Have you tried putting a delay in the loop to give the OS time to do it's thing
(other than thrash memory)??
