Jim,

Apart from the fact that, as Chris F. pointed out, you and Hari seem to 
share a misconception about how the "-R" option to "ls" works, your 
suggestion about using grep is probably better, in this instance, than 
involving "find" as I said you "must" do (a very poor and inaccurate choice 
of words).

You'll probably want to use the "-i" option to grep so that it matches the 
letters in the suffixes case insensitively, since Windows doesn't care 
about alphabetic case in any part of a file name.

If you use "egrep" you can get multiple suffixes selected in a single command:

         ls -laR |egrep -i '.(doc|pdf|rtf)'

for example.
