Use 'find' to get a list of all the (sub+)directories in the current
location.
find -type d >~/list_of_directories
Having got this output file, use it as input (no chaining involved here) to
feed arguments into chmod, maybe using a simple shell script. I can't think
of a simpler way myself, but others probably can.
