You will find a lot of power in find(1), after you can grok the syntax. 
Its great for actually acting on these files you are listing. Example:

	find / -name \*\.html -type f -exec chmod a+r {} \; -a -ls

The above will walk the entire FS fromt he root (/) looking for _f_iles 
called *.html, and will then change the permissions of each file (denoted by 
"{}") and give you a long listing of the file.

	find . -type f -atime +100

The above will list all files accessed more than 100 days ago starting 
from the current directory (".").

	find . -type d -atime -100

The above will list all directories accessed less than 100 days ago.


As alway, RTFM... use "man find". ;)

HTH.
