Thanks Rob. When I tried your command, I get a listing of directories that look something like so: ./.maildir ./Desktop There are two minor issues with this. First, I don't want the ./ part, and second, I don't want to see the hidden directories. I'll dig into the find command more though - I'm sure it could do this with a little tweaking... Thanks for the lead. With regards to ncurses and such, I might head down that path in the future. But for now, I want to get the core functionality in place before I worry tooo much about how it looks. This means jumping through more hoops in some ways, but also means a more focused learning path - it's easer to work with only one or two new concepts/languages/libraries than with 2 or 3 or 4 at once...
