The immediate window does not execute a script; it runs individual statements, immediately as you hit Enter (whether you just typed the line or not). You can't script a sequence of such executable statements in that box, the statements must be self-contained.

But you can cheat, by using the : instruction separator:

fn=dir("C:\",vbdirectory):do while fn<>"":?fn:fn=dir:loop

Keep in mind that the window holds no more than 255 lines - you'd have to write to a file to output more than that and be able to view it all.
