accessing first element of lisp function directory



The output of ?directory(path) is not a list. I am
able to access all of the elements except the first.
How can I access the first element?
In the example below, there are five elements in
myout.

(%i1) myout : ?directory("c:/line1*w.txt");

(%o1) (#pc:/line10w.txt, #pc:/line1b1w.txt, #pc:/line1b2w.txt,
                                             #pc:/line1bw.txt, 
#pc:/line1w.txt)

(%i2) length(myout);
(%o2)                                  4

(%i3) part (myout,1);
(%o3)                          #pc:/line1b1w.txt

(%i4) for x in myout do print (x)$

#pc:/line1b1w.txt
#pc:/line1b2w.txt
#pc:/line1bw.txt
#pc:/line1w.txt
