- Don't get rid of it (if you even can). NOWHERE is used by the OS as sort
- of a temporary place to put things that it wants to hide from you. One
- example is a 'Find Results' folder is usually built in there. You can
- use this directory in your own REXX programs, and otherwise if you wish.
-
- Generally it is empty, so it shouldn't take up any real disk space. So
- why worry about it in the first place?
