Thanks Kurc, Alvin, David and David

Kurc, tnx for the script.  I had no idea I was so close.  I will
bookmark your homework suggestion and get to it as soon as possible.

Alvin, warnings are appreciated and I will double check the filenames.

David, there is an elegance to your use of 'find' and I will RTFMan
find.  See next comment.  

David also, in this case, the controlling parm is the date.  My home
directory is very small and familiar at this time, so  no, I don't
expect 'c' files.

Thanks again, guys.  This has been helpful well beyond my simple
question.
