With filehandels you can only delete 1 file. So if you write del *.* 4dos make
a list of all files and execute delete <filename> for every fil there is.
But if you use FCB (wich Microsoft official not support (its a old way to handle
files) but they use it in command.com) you can execute a del *.* if you
use FCB to handels wit your files!
