I'll be dipped. It worked - the first time, anyway. It wouldn't go a
second round. Don't I have to reset the object somehow?
When I originally tried it, I placed
print root
print dirs
print files
within the for loop, and I ended up with nuthin'.
Or perhaps it flashed by while I wasn't watching, and it wouldn't do it
a second time???
