Recursion Problems

Well, the rash is acting up once again.

Recursion has hit a brick wall.

> set theNumItems to the count of items in myParent -- tried the number of items
in myParent, but that didn't work for some reason

> blah blah blah ... Whatevah

This ain't workin. How come? I could possibly see a problem with variables
being overwritten here, and therefore the progress through a folder housing
nested folders, becoming messed up. It won't go into the second nested
folder right now.

Just trying to get a list of all files in a CD, with the 4 parameters:

Disc Name
URL (path)
Filename
Physical Size

Trying to put into text editor so I can mess with it some special way.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
