I forgot to mention that you may use the standard method:
$ find $DIR -exec command '{}' \; instead of:
$ find $DIR -print | sed s/^/command /' | sh
However, the 2nd method allows the find command to be any command that
generates a list of filenames and is more generic. e.g.,
$ tar t | sed s/^/command /' | sh
