If you are using the version by Haruyasu Yoshizaki (lha + xlh), then you
are mistaken. LHA will easily do subdirectories if you ask it to.
Type lha [ENTER] and you will get the complete syntax for lha. Notice
the Option "r: Recursively collect files". That's what you need along
with the command "a: Add files" to get subdirectories.
Note that options must be preceded with a - sign.
