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.
Thanks Michael :)
I've cheated to get mms working - I just edited descrip.mms so that
test is the default target. Now I have some errors to fix.
Thanks again.
