grep

[Michael Moore]

	Does anyone know if there is an easy way to recursively search for a 
pattern down the entire file tree of a directory?  
	I have tried :  grep -R pattern *
			grep -r pattern *
			grep -R pattern dirname
			grep -r pattern dirname
			

	I don't know what to do.  If there were a way to recursively cat 
files or something similar, I could pipe that to grep, but I can't find that
either.

	ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

	(P.S.  Is this the proper newsgroup to post this question to?)
	(      If not, please let me know which one is.              )
