Frankly Russell, I'm amazed that someone like you that seems otherwise
intelligent and apparently hasn't been hiding in a cave for the last 20
years just "discovered" this.  It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't
strictly a clickety-click user doesn't know this.

Yes, just like a real command shell.

Since you're so easily impressed, check out the /S option.  That allows you
to do a search on a whole tree.  for example:

  cd /d c:\
  dir *.pdf /s

will list all PDF files anywhere on the C: drive.  And you can type that a
lot faster than clickety-clicking your way thru the menus to do the
corresponding FIND.
