Here's a recursive volume traversal using osutil xtra that I put
together to index the contents of cd's. I think osutil is mac only,
but filextra3 should have similar methods.
-- Traverse dir struct recursively,
-- writing line of info for each visible file.

travDir volName
-- Recursion

on travDir thisDir
if IsDirectory( gOSutil, thisDir ) then
set dirContents = linesToList( GetFileNamesinFolder( thisDir, 0 ) )
repeat with file in dirContents
travDir thisDir & file
end repeat
else writeString gFile, fileSpecs( thisDir ) & gEOLN
end
I've left out a couple utility handlers, but you get the idea.
