   This is the one part I still haven't figured out - how to do a simple
dir /s.

   find is supposed to do stuff like this but it doesn't seem to work
properly either unless you start at the root.

  I've been doing an ls -R | less on the /usr, /var, and /etc tree to make
the commands run faster, then searching the output in 'less', but it's still
the long way.

   *ix gurus - any tips?
