I need help with the find command. I am trying to use the -prune expression
but I cannot get it to work. 
 
What I want to do is to search the current directory for all files matching
a certain name, say -name abc\* , but I *do not* want find to descend into
any subdirectories.
 
find . -type d -prune -o -name abc\* -print
 
does not seem to work, since it prunes *everything*, including the . directory.
 
Any suggestions?
