But I can't resist some temptations :

the shortest recursive directorywalker ever in rev/mc :

  on mouseUp
   put empty into field "result"
   answer folder "Pick a folder you want to walk:"
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   if last char of it <> "/" then put "/" after it
   put walkDir(it) into field "result"
end mouseUp

function walkDir dirPath
   set the directory to dirPath
   return shell("ls -R")	
end walkDir

Even more deeply ashamed now,
Greetings
WA
