Great stuff. I got it giving me "let*: End of file during parsing", I don't
see why - examined in *scratch* buffer - maybe I try later. 
(but as I have other uses for similar code, just for viewing and deleting
files,) I thought all the files for dired have to be in same directory
- which I now tested separately as *not* to be the case (that could have
been problematic w/ message (email) files scattered in multiple folders).
