You need to understand when TSO OMVS is important. For a few simple commands, 
why bother with PUTTY? The OP said they wanted to delete a directory. PUTTY is 
no better than OMVS or ISHELL in doing this task. In fact, how is the Unix 
command prompt useful for this op, who doesn't understand Unix directories, ls, 
cd, pipes, rmdir, case sensitivity and more. For vendors dealing with people of 
various skill levels, OMVS is critical because we know it's easily available 
and we don't need to teach UNIX.  We can easily provide the basic commands, It 
is far easier than teaching PUTTY or ISHELL.
