- If you can stand using the mouse...
-
- You can do it in File Manager by selecting the directory and then selecting
- delete. You'll probably want to turn off confirmations in the Options/
- Confirmations dialog first.
-
- Otherwise, you might look for GNU's rm utility. You might find it in
- the GNUFUTIL package. This stuff has been ported to OS/2 2.0, so it
- shouldn't be long here.
-
- Please no flames about WIMP/GUI interfaces or OS/2.
