Newbie question: if[command not null]

"find *" is relative paths, "find $PWD" is absolute paths.
Absolute paths means lines never match, dir1 to dir2.
My bro said "file names with spaces, only Microsoft would so something stupid like that!" Actually, they are just about as legal in UNIX, just shunned by the culture. Use a '_', '.', '-' or nothing. I like the -, handy and easy to read past.
