directory

I'm a complete newbie at xquery and am trying to execute a query dynamically on
all files in a given directory, rather than hardcoding a particular file into
the 'doc()' call. I've tried using 'collection()' but am unclear as to how to
get it to work.
I did see this thread on x-query.com:
[xquery-talk] Query Through Multiple Files
but the closest anyone came to the answer I was hoping to find was to hardcode a
*list* of files to traverse.
Is there anyway to do something like:
for $x in collection("xmlfiles")
where 'xmlfiles' is a subdirectory containing the actual xml files I want to
use? I would need to know the exact syntax, as this is all new to me.
Thanks!
