And because I've made quite a mess of the home directory over the course of a few attempts I also have to ask whether there's a quick way to recursively delete a directory :)
The official way: $ delete [...]*.*;* But that leaves the directories. Change their protections so you can actually delete them: $ set prot [...]*.*;* and repeat until all's gone: $ delete [...]*.*;* Slightly better (sort of): $ delete [...]*.*;*,;*,;*,;*,;*,;*,;*,;* but since directories can now be deeper than 8 levels it won't work too well anymore. The fast way: $ backup/delete [...]*.*;* nl:./save Might need the set prot bit as well for the directories. Michael
