But you can make it run a shell script or "any" program such as trash-put. That's assuming that "trash-put" removes the files given as arguments, like "rm". If it needs options, then a short shell-script may make "trash-put" act like "rm". (if it's a GUI that can't act like "rm", I don't know...) > Thanks so much in advance > Chime > -- Thomas E.

Thank you Tomas. That .h2 item was not in my lynx.cfg, so I pasted in your instructions. But after that, can I define a command for deleting files? Exactly what belongs in that file, so I can act on an alias? As I mentioned last evening, del is aliased to /usr/bin/trash-put Thanks so much in advance Chime
