2012-08-23 06:46 AEST by Glen Starrett - Trying to update a sandbox with new keyword options and even using the -R to
force a recursion it won't affect files in a subdirectory.  Would be "handy" if
it could be forced on.

In the following example, I'd like to get the files in the current directory as
well as the ones in promoTest, but it only changes the kopt on the one in the
current directory:

I've tried changing the order of operands but it doesn't seem to affect it.

If you don't use a filespec on the command then it does recurse by default.
