I'm reading up on grep... (thanks for the explaining the find command...
that let me move forward)... and i've noticed that while you can search
for a "regular expression" (did I use that right?) there is no mention of
any ability to do a recursive search.

i checked the man page and seached for the "regular expression" (this will
be on a quiz tomorrow... that's why i'm using it so much :D ) "recursive"
but nothing came up.

is there some uncomplicated way of doing a recursive search with grep?
