Thank you very much for answering for I see my confusion now.
But the excellent recursive function from David Vaughn has encountered
an other limit. It crashes Metacard/Revolution at about 20303 to 20335 
iterations
on my computer (tested on the complete Mac OS X volume which seems to
have > 100000 folders, didn't go further by lack of time). Makes you 
think about
what is more preferable, though this is an extreme condition.
But it's probably something for the Metacard-engine coders to solve.
