walking folder vs mdfind

[jim sims]

I just spent a couple of head banging hours trying to figure out how  
to walk through folders and get all the applications in the OS X  
directory Applications.

Then, after a brain message from the Goddess in the next room (and  
probably Lord  Ganesha) , I tried a shell:

  mdfind -onlyin /Applications .app

It seems to do what I want, quickly.
I'm posting this for the Archives in case such a thing is needed by  
anyone in the future.
