If you want to see just a `branch' of the tree, try the file browser.  If
you want to see the entire tree, try this shell script (I don't know who
the original author is.)  It takes one argument, a directory.

#!/bin/sh
echo $1; find $1 -type d -print | tr / \\1 | sort -f | tr \\1 / |\
sed -e s,\^$1,, -e /\^$/d -e "s,[^/]*/\\([^/]*\\)\$, \`-----\\1," -e "s,[^/]*/, |     ,g"
