...until they get used to clicking on "okay". This is the same argument that leads to avoiding aliasing rm to always use -i -- people get used to it. The trashcan metaphor seems rather appropriate... delete this, eventually. I know people who have implemented it for rm -- move the indicated file/directory to a 'trashcan'. -- _ |\_ \| -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
