Checking directory contents

Before copying or removing a directory list its contents with the command:

   ls -FR

This lists any files and descends any subdirectory trees, listing their contents. For example:

   ls MetaCard
   BLURB.txt  BUGS.txt   FAQ.txt    README.mc metacard/

   MetaCard/metacard:
   Makefile      XCmdGlue.c    XTtemplate.c XtTemplate.c  mc*
   README.ext    XCmdGlue.h    XtGlue.c     external.c
   XCmdFuncs.c   XCmdNames.h   XtGlue.h     external.h
