	Yup, works, thanks much.  

	Years ago, 8-10-12, whatever, a shell wiz hacked out something
	similar that caught only /bin/sh scripts and COFF binaries.

	Yours, using the ``-perm'' switch is better.  find is great;
	having something like this builtin would be a win... but maybe
	be a bit too much feature-creep!
