yup, it took me a while to figure out what RTFM means (in more then one way)
first i tried to issue the command RTFM and unix came back telling me:
RTFM: Command not found.
well if the operating system tells me to read the *%&#@ manual i geuss i
better.... :-)
anyways, thanks to all, for setting me straight on the fact that find IS
recursive and "obviously" i was wrong in thinking that it wasn't.
sorry

After reading the above article, I immediately created a rtfm shell script in the local bin. I wonder who many novice users actuall use this command. Maybe I should start making that a standard command on all systems I install, then when some one phones for support with a stupid question I can tell them to try rtfm (and hope they have a sense of humor :-). -stacy -- "Praise the Lord and pass the tax rebate!" - Friar Tuck, Walt Disney's _Robin Hood_ S.
