ATTRDIR is a command line tool to modify the attributes of directories under 
OS/2. ATTRDIR sets, removes or displays the attributes READ ONLY, SYSTEM, 
HIDDEN and ARCHIVE.

Usage: ATTRDIR [+R | -R][+S | -S][+H | -H][+A | -A] [DRIVE:][PATH]DIRECTORY

ATTRDIR does not support wildcard characters. Attributes can only be modified
for one directory at a time. 
It seems that OS/2 does not care about the READ ONLY attribute on local drives, 
so whether or not this attribute is set an empty subdirectory can be deleted 
with the RD command.
There is an enhanced DEL command for OS/2. Its name is XDEL and it should be
part of the same package that contains ATTRDIR. XDEL supports the READ ONLY
attribute of subdirectories. For example you can tell XDEL not to delete files
in a subdirectory if its READ ONLY attribute is set. To delete a subdirectory
with the READ ONLY attribute set you must pass a special command line option
to XDEL.
