>> Got two words for you: 'find' and 'xargs'... ;-) Thank you. I guess I phrased myself badly. I wasn't saying "How do I do this?" (I think ls -AlR gives me pretty well what I was after). I was saying "Once I could do this. Now I can't. Does anybody know if anything has altered recently? and can anybody explain the phenomenon?" Anyway, it seems from an earlier response to be something bash-related, so I imagine for the moment I am stuck with it. Thanks again. Fergus
