Perfect. That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks.
For those reading this later on, the following script will crawl
through a directory, select all the text files, dump them into seperate
numbered html files in the parent directory (in which the python script
is executed). In this example, the first line of the text file is
placed into a table with a randomly colored background. With a little
work, the text files can be complexly formatted, each folder can be
color coded, etc.
