-    FileDirectory new fileExists: 'c:\serial'.
+   FileDirectory new fileExists: 'c:\serial'.
    (FileDirectory on: 'c:\') directoryExists: 'docs'.

+   (Directory name: 'c:\docs') exists ifTrue: [ ... ]
+   (File name: 'c:\serial') isFile ifTrue: [ ... ]
+Using ''exists'' in the latter case will return true for directories too.
