I have a problem similar to Timothy's. If I run "md5sum *" on a folder, 
in a terminal,  it lists all the sums. My problem is that I have several 
thousand files. Is there some way I can output the results to a text 
file? Can't copy and paste unless there's some way for me to adjust the 
terminal to allow the last several thousand lines to display. Then I'm 
also going to have to sort all those lines into some alphabetical order 
to reasonably detect duplicate sums. Any ideas?
