[thelist] Telnet Command to Delete Directories?

[Steve Cook]

Just for your Info Dan, as you prompted you were uncertain, it's
"recursively" :-)

Warning to folks using rm -rf dirname/ - this is an *extremely* powerful
command. You can wipe out WAY more than you intended if you aren't careful.
Before using, check and check again that you have the right directory.
