If you have a directory called TEST.DIR that you want to delete, issue the following commands: $ SET FILE/PROT=(O:RWED) TEST.DIR $ DELETE TEST.DIR; The first command will set the protections on the directory to give the (O)wner the protections of: (R)ead, (W)rite, (E)xecute, and (D)elete. The second command, of course, deletes the directory. BTW, the directory must be empty before you can delete it. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] (internet) kacovert@miavx1 (bitnet)
