Sorry to take so long to reply, school stuff stole my attention for  
awhile.

This isn't to find more documentation but to find files that have  
been \input into the current document.  It's quite possible that  
there is a better way to do this but at least for me the program  
would complain when my header had a line like

\input{notation.tex}

where this file wasn't in the same directory but kept in my local  
texmf tree so I could include it in whatever program I wanted.

Could you somehow bootstrap off the ls-R files?
