chmod -R 755 * would recursively change every file and directory in the current directory (except anything beginning with a . (dot) in the current directory) to have permissions rwxr-xr-x.

chmod -R 740 [TPAM]*/* would recursively change every file and directory in any directory beginning with "T", "P", "A" or "M" in the current directory (except any file or directory beginning with . (dot) in exactly the directory beginning with "T", "P", "A" or "M" in the current directory) to have a permission of rwxr-----.

Code:

$ mkdir Tx Px Ax Mx              

$ touch Tx/.T1 Px/P1 Ax/.Ax Mx/Mx

$ find . -ls
