But it does give you the pathname for the files in subdirectories.

No, no misunderstanding. You didn't state with the filename so your
complete statement was that it didn't do it at all. I was clarifying to point
out that it does, just not in the format desired. Those are two different
conditions and certainly one worth mentioning in case someone else comes in
mid-thread on your message and thinks ls doesn't give it at all. ;)
