How to examine folder contents

Is there a way to find out the contents of a folder?

Here's my problem:

I'm writing an applescript to run on multiple machines. Every machine is guaranteed
to have a folder called MASTERFOLDER. In that folder, however, will be one
subfolder with a variable name. On some machines it might be called X, on others,
Y. No matter what that sub-folder is called, there will be a SPECIALFILE in that
subfolder that I want to get at. How can I select scan the contents of
MASTERFOLDER, select the correct subfolder, then select SPECIALFILE from within
MASTERFOLDER:subfolder?

Thanks in advance,
Steve
