Good idea! :-)

Escaping didn't work. I had to remove the -regex command, then things 
started to go my way.

eg:
   find UnitTests -type f -perm /111 -exec echo {} \;


It now listed all executable files...  :-)
Reading through the 'find' man page, it's damn impressive what the find 
command can do. A real hidden treasure.

BTW:
   I found that Midnight Commander has an extended search feature where 
you and feed in commands like 'find' and it will panelize the output. 
You can find the option under 'Command | External panelize'.  After 
using Linux for 10 years, I'm still learning new tricks. Awesome!
