I want find to return all the files in each directory to exec.  That is,
I want to do something like:

     find /path -type d -exec command {}/\* \; -print

so that command will be run on each file, one directory at a time.  I
cannot seem to get this to work.  I cannot cd to the directory, since I
need to be somewhere else when the command is run.  Any help will be 
appreciated.  Please reply directly to me.  Thank you,  -David-
