Yeah, rm doesn't have a -P option on any of my systems. From what I can find its a mac OSX thing? That seems to be fine to me, although maybe they could add an option to switch between different types of systems.
I did, however, find that it gets confused by backticks, which might be confusing for someone who doesn't know what they are, but I could just copy out the contents of the backticks as a separate query to see what that does and then... yeah it would work but not very convenient.
