It sounds useful, yeah. OTOH, the shell I use for Windows (4NT) would do that with -R (/S, in fact) in most internal commands, and you can always do "GLOBAL yourcommand yourarguments" to run an external programs in every subdirectory of a directory tree (which is not exactly the same, but often suffices). It is very fast and I've never had any complains about recursing subdirectories. 4NT has also aliases, user defined functions, and other quite useful things, like "SELECT program (files)" to manually select files to pass to program, for example: SELECT COPY (.) c:\tmp\backup would allow me to manually select (in a nice character-based selection screen) which files I want to pass to COPY. Different tastes, I suppose. I tend to consider Unix shells ugly. OTOH, and although 4NT is a much nicer programming environment than CMD, when I really want to do some scripting I most often use Perl, not a shell. (Let's see what happens with Monad, the Microsoft Scripting Shell.) --=20 /L/e/k/t/u
