Thanks. This did do something. I have no idea what it did though.

Now when I execute the "find" script in a cgi, I get pages and pages of 
this stuff returned in the browser:

There is so much of this junk returned that I cancelled the page 
loading. What is this?

Has anyone else ever tried to use "find" in a cgi? Is this weird, or what?
