Let's break this down: do you want to work with files whose type is ".mov"

This is a command in the "File Commands : Commands to work with files
without using the Finder" suite of the Standard Additions and its
description.

>>> list folder 'file' -- the alias or file reference to the folder

The command itself with its required argument.

>>> [invisibles boolean] -- List invisible files? (default is true)

An optional argument either true or false, with or without...

A likely place to begin if you wish to work with the names of the items in
