	       Completed rm, cp, and mv Commands

		  The 'rm', 'cp',  and  'mv'  commands  have  been  completed.
		  'rm'  and  'cp'  now  support  a  -r  flag   for   recursive
		  operations, and all three  support  a  '-v'  (verbose)  flag
		  which prints the file names as they are operated upon.

		  The only remaining addition is a -c (clone) option  to  'cp'
		  which keeps date stamps and file permissions  intact.   I'll
		  add this as soon as I figure out how.

I would like to make a request here.  The unix flag for preserving
date stamps, permissions, etc. on the cp command is -p (for preserve).
Unless you are following another convention with your flag naming, it
would be nice to see this flag as -p for those of us who work on unix
a lot as well.

Thanks for a great shell.
