No that did not work.
I created a folder called "dummy". Filled it with Images and DTML Documents
and subfolders with Images.

Command: find /dummy --type Image --exec "export {}"
Results:
Object /dummy/subfolder/Athlete.jpg exported to server as Athlete.jpg.zexp
Object /dummy/Apap.jpg exported to server as Apap.jpg.zexp

But this is not true.
In my <zope>/var directory these ZEXP files don't exist.
BUT, dummy.zexp and subfolder.zexp do.
Importing these and you get back to what you had before, except that
dummy.zexp already contains the subfolder object.

ZShell v1.0pre3
Should I upgrade? Can you suggest a different command?
