Digging in the Dirt
Find and display the paths of all of the files in a directory (and, potentially, all of its subdirectories, and their subdirectories, and so on), and then take action (such as reading, modifying, calculating their bytes, duplicating, touching, etc.) on some of the files that have interesting characteristics.
