I've read all the FAQs, Groups, MsgBoards, & Cygwin 
archives I can find, and although I have found some 
user's with similiar problems, none of them ever 
seemed to be resolved (as far as I could tell). 

My problem is this. I am trying to use the -R switch 
with ls to get a listing of files that I am going 
to send to sort (to get a top 10 kind of thing). I 
am very fearful that this is going to be flame bait, 
but feel I have done all I humanly can right now to 
resolve the issue on my own. 

When I enter ls -R *.db, it only returns the matching 
files in the current path (and I verified that there 
are matching files in the subdirs). 

Here is one thread that almost seems similiar, but 
doesnt seem to be resolved... 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/1999-08/msg00578.html 
...when I try to do as the author suggests, I get the 
following messgage... 
$ find . -name *.db 
find: paths must precede expression 
Usage: find [path...] [expression] 

...so I tried... 
$ find /cygdrive/s/customer/ -name *.db 
find: paths must precede expression 
Usage: find [path...] [expression] 

Here is an example of what happens with LS... 
$ ls *.db 
Copy of Langdef.db RSINFO.db S98pcta.db langFltr.db
qClass.db 

Administrator AT TRAVIS /cygdrive/s/customer/dist10 
$ cd .. 

Administrator AT TRAVIS /cygdrive/s/customer 
$ ls -R *.db 
ALPHACLS.db ALPHAGRD.db dist.db olddist.db 

Administrator AT TRAVIS /cygdrive/s/customer 
$ ls *.db 
ALPHACLS.db ALPHAGRD.db dist.db olddist.db 

Your thoughts?
