Recursive Concatenation

Hi,

I have a problem with concatenation text files.

I have a directory, say 'foo'
Inside this folder, I have many sub folders, say 'oof1, oof2 .... oof20'

Each oof directory has a number of text files inside it. I need to
concatenate all the text files in oof directories within foo...

I know how concatenate files using textutil -cat, however I can't seem to
get this to go recursively up and down through the oof directories. Is there a way to do this? Or a better solution? (I'm working in terminal in Mac OS X leopard)

Thanks,

Kerensa.
