Nope; MS-DOS command.com will only delete files ending with ~ in their
extention. The same goes for Win2k's cmd.exe.

It should be .[~?][~?][~?]

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 us
