Richard,
A potential danger I see to this approach is if one of the duplicates
had been edited. The routine would have to check for modification date
(probably safe to keep the one most recently changed) - just not delete
any apparent duplicates that have different edit dates?

Maybe not. I was thinking about the same problem here the other day,
and wile I haven't written anything yet it occurred to me that Rev's
MD5 function could probably be useful: you'd make a list of all the
files, read each file into a variable and run the variable through MD5,
and then any matching MD5 keys are likely duplicates.
Anyone here see a weakness to that crude approach?
