ppl means people. :-) Here is how I did a limited date range file search

The snippet below finds files modified between 2500 and 2800 minutes ago.

Code:
find -cmin +2500  -cmin -2800

The snippet below finds files modified between 20 and 21 days ago.

Code:
find -ctime +20  -ctime -21

I, too, am a hopeless newbie, but those worked for me.
