How can I count files in sub-folders?

I have a folder with 2 or more levels of sub-folders. I want to
automatically produce a text file that contains the names of all of the
files in each sub-folder. Can I do this without writing a program - maybe
just using a BAT file with DOS commands? Any suggestions would be
appreciated. And I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this
question. TIA, Paul

you should be able to do a simple bat file with the dir/s command and pipe
it to a text file

Thanks Jim - That's perfect - I should have remembered that - I've been away
from DOS too long...
