- I might note that the "delete .." commands hould work. If it does not the user
- either has a funny shell or UNIX command replacement thing running that has ".."
- doing something odd. "delete #?.. opt i" should present he with the name
- whereupon your delete should work. If he is running virgin Commodore shell etc
- and "delete .." does not kill it the file may be mis-hashed in the directory
- structure. He needs either disksalv or AmiBackTools to kill that problem.
