thanks to both of yall for the reply, but it didn't work.  i copied/pasted 
into a file, changed the EXCLUDE_LIST to something meaningful on my system, 
but it doesn't work, it just prints out all the dirs in the dir that i'm in.

i got another bash question though.  i wanna execute the following sequence of 
commands (what is this called, so i can search for it on the internet?):
./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install
but i want to exit if any of them fail.  i figured the following would work 
but it doesn't:
if [ ! ./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install ] ; then
        echo "an error occured"
        exit #i don't know the command to exit a bash script
fi

thanks for the help again,
christopher
