Yeah . . . I'd probably solve this problem by using the mv command. If you really wanted to, you could just write a shell or Perl script called "trash" that moved files specified on the command line to a hardcoded "trashcan" directory. Why recreate rm just to add a single command line option? . . . and why not recreate it in C (or something vaguely equivalent) if that's what you want to do, anyway? If you really think it's important enough, maybe you could make a case for that functionality being added to the version of rm included with core utilities on your system. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "There comes a time in the history of any project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production." - MacUser, November 1990 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
