C & P from my *original* post

<snip>
find . -iname '*.cmd' >/tmp/FilesFoundDotCmd
find . -iname '*.c' >/tmp/FilesFoundDotC

If *that* ain't a dot, I really need new glasses. As to what the man
states, you are correct of course. It has been this way since 1978, to
my knowledge.

I'm not always able to keep up with new stuff, but I sure hang on to old
stuff well!  :-)
