-
- DELETE is a program which allows selective deletion of files.
-
- INVOKING THE PROGRAM: DELETE may be invoked by typing
- 'DELETE fname.ext' at the command prompt. Wildcards may (and usually will)
- be used, i.e. 'DELETE *.ASM'.
-
- If any matching files are found, DELETE will display the name of
- the file, and ask if it should be deleted. Pressing 'Y' or 'y' will
- delete the file. Pressing ESC stops the program. Any other key will
- leave the file alone and continue asking about other matching files.
-
- I strongly encourage you to use DELETE instead of DEL or ERASE
- when doing wild-card deletions. It is too easy to accidentally delete
- a file you wanted to keep when using the normal DOS commands.
