Sorry.
Thank you for the consideration, and sorry for the trouble. I did not intend to make so much work for you, and I would have been able to create a patch for this. I think it is a reasonable condition. This kind of patch is simple enough.

You do not want to focus on this any more, and that is fair enough. I am just curious to understand what problem you found with deleting a directory level. That's exactly what I find easy in Bash's delete-word: ^w deletes to the next directory level; unless the file name contains boundary characters, in which case you will have to press Backspace and/or ^w again. None of the methods we discussed avoid that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
