Virtual Folder vi:<get list_recentlyopenedfiles>

Hi Don,
if I try to pick the latest 8 files out of the list of recentlyopenedfiles with the following command
vi:<get list_recentlyopenedfiles 8.m>
then the Xyplorer window gets closed.

And what I also noticed is that vi:<get list_recentlyopenedfiles> lists files which were deleted in the meantime with a size of 0KB.
Is there anything you can do with such entries??
In my opinion they are useless and should not be listed to avoid an additional filtering.

Same problem with vi:<get list_recentlocations> which also lists "dead" directory entries.

1) Cannot reproduce a crash on vi:<get list_recentlyopenedfiles 8.m>. But the syntax is wrong of course. 8.m and the like only work with <get pick ...>.

2) list_recentlyopenedfiles does not have any smartness built in. I agree that it is not very fit for VFOs. Same with list_recentlocations. I might add alternative versions later that do some cleaning.
