I got '-type f' from the man page. '-type f' limits the find to only
actual files, not symlinks or directories. wc -l was just piped onto the
end to get the count of how many files were found.
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +1
does the same thing (as far as I can tel) as
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +1 -print
But the +111 part helps. Thanks!
