Stephen,
If you can afford to waste some performance and know what platform you are
using, then, you can build a two pass algorithm.
The first pass just collect the file references, full path, one per line.
Then you filter this for the extensions you need and after that you process
it as usual.
If you are in mac os x, then you can use:
set the defaultfolder to "parent folder"
put shell("tree -i -f") into theFileList
This should work on Mac OS X and Linux but not on Windows.
:-D
