hi davido,
"..Sure, if you're diving recursively into a directory structure...He didn't say anything about diving deeper into the structure"
You are right in the sense that the OP didn't say anything about diving deeper into the structure. But am almost certain that you wouldn't be surprised that "this" follow sooner or later, I can almost bet my dinner on it. :)
And you are right ultimately because one should stay within a "asked" question as much as possible, I was only trying to predicts the OP ...
AHooohhsh my crystal ball is broken..
Thanks.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
