Thanks Rob, Peder,
Cmd F sounded really promising ... until I tried it.
There were 2 Word documents in the Documents folder that I knew were
created in the last 24 hrs, and they didn't seem to show up at all.
Then I found them ... along with several thousand entries in the
'Other' category, along with cache files etc. There are a number
of .txt files neatly categorised as 'Documents', but not the 'real'
documents I wanted it to find. The search field (magnifying glass)
can't filter out the chaff, and no way to focus it on Documents as
the base of the search. So Cmd F is not precise enough for what I am
after.
I think it is back to the find command, this way I can control the
search area.
Thanks for your assistance.
Glenn.

in the last 1 day / 2 day period so I can copy them (via memory

Ideally I would like to do this from the Finder.
But I also realise it might be achieved using a shell script and
the find command (possibly even zipping them up at the same time?).
If someone has done this (or knows how to do it easily), it would
be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Not sure if this a default install, but on my PB running 10.4.3 I
use +f from Desktop and then just select Any Date from the finder
window, pick whatever period I need then move on to other sections
for search, Servers, Computer, Home, Volume ?, Others..
