This must be a trivial question for the unix saavy, but it has me 
stumped. The shell account I have with my access provider kaiwan.com 
leaves tmp garbage files all the time that I have to tidy up to keep my 
storage under the 1 Mb limit. Right now I have a command someone crafted 
up for me to list the offending files "ls -alg | grep mikeford", but I 
would like to just del instead of ls them. What would that command look 
like (swapping del for ls got me nowhere)?
