Is there a recursive flag to "make?"

Sorry, I'm in the habit of using "build" as the verb for what the "make" command does and sometimes when I get ahead of myself I say to "build -something" when in fact the command to "build" a program is called "make." Sort of like saying to "list" a file even tough "ls" is the command, or "delete" a file even though "rm" is the command. | | Last question, an after-thought really: Are "beta" vs "final" relevant? -- Brian T.
