Hi Blair, "del *.*~" is MEANT to delete all files! This is because "*" means "fill everything up to the dot, or if after the dot, the end of the file name". In other words, *.*~ gets expanded to ????????.??? and the ~ gets dropped, but that is NORMAL for DOS. If you do not like this, you should use BASH or GNU RM ;-).
