I need a utility that will walk the tree structure from a specified point
down and execute commands on each file it finds.  I'd like to avoid the
pipe approach to this -- piping a directory list output into something
that will execute the desired command.  I already have RESWALK to do that.

What I really want to do is delete large chunks of files in the tree and
ideally remove the resulting empty directories.  Any suggestions would
be appreciated by mail.  Thanks a 1,000,000 -- Jeff
