- The simplest thing to do is to mung the name before you erase. If names are
- important to you to get rid of with the files, you could easily go thru and
- rename a file you wish to both erase and hide the name of and just rename it
- something meaningless before you trash it.

- I realize that what you really want is some sort of en masse automatic way of
- doing this. I have seen none.
