By ASObjC, do you mean the ObjC importing that Mavericks introduced?

Yes.

As to formatting, this guy is visually impaired, so pretty formatting and indenting isn't necessary, the important thing is logical layout. I can play with the finer points once I get a working model.

Right, but what I mean is this -- your sample was:

/users/alexhall contains 1 file and 16 folders

Files:
someFile.pages

Documents contains 3 files:
1.txt
2.rtf
3.numbers

Downloads contains 85 files:

That gives no real indication of how you'd want subfolders of Documents and their contents to appear, and the subfolders of them, etc. To some extent, how you want it to appear drives the design of the code -- the format dictates whether you get all the data recursively and then format it, or whether you traverse each folder and format the results as you go.
