I'm thinking that a list is the way to go.  mtree doesn't know how to
delete things in the list.  We could hack it to so.  Or we could just
have a file that has a list of names and use the code that I posted
before.  It would be automatic if the user defines a variable.  See my
other posts for the simple code to do this.
