Files to Text-file

I'm undoubtedly sure this has been answered before, but I have a bunch of
nested files that I was wanting to create a BBEdit text file.

For example...I might have the five files (shown below) nested all over the
place inside one main folder...the text file would contain all the files in
alphabetically order (as shown below):

01_file.xls
Beavis_Butthead.mp3
Cleatus.fcf
Mort.fst
Wilbur.doc

I would like this script to be a droplet...that is, just drop the 'highest'
folder onto it, and the script would navigate all the folders and find all
the files and create the text file.

I know who to get the BBEdit stuff, but I need help getting the script to
navigate the nested folders and 'negotiate' all the files into a list to
print to the resulting text file.

I have plenty of RAM, so that should not be a problem (if the script needs
to get bloated while it runs).

Thanks!
SLE
