p.s. I know what you mean by the vague concept of "seeding".  For
many of the GNU shell utilities it would be nice to be able to
specify that -r is to work recursively on the file/pattern specified
as the argument(s), i.e.

ls -R <somefile>

currently will not list <somefile> unless it is a directory.



$ ls --version
ls (GNU coreutils) 5.97
...
$ ls -lR x
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 177 2007-06-29 15:52 x

"x" is a regular file and ls lists it. What version of ls(1) are you using?

Cheers,
