It's been that long since I used DOS that I had to think for a while
to remember what TREE does :)

The command that you want is 'find'. See 'man find' for details.  Find
is a bit of a kitchen sink command so a small example follows:

bonnie:~$ find /etc -type d
/etc
/etc/skel
/etc/skel/.term
/etc/lilo
/etc/rc.d
bonnie:~$

This doesn't have the lines that TREE does, but I find them annoying
and useless anyway.

Chris.
