Has anybody else seen this? > The delete command is interpreting your a as the abreviation for the ASK keyword, instead of as a filename. The ASK keyword is neat - you could say delete #? a and delete will prompt you for each file or directory "Delete foo?" Like rm -i on Un*x. To get help with ARP commands, type CommandName ? and a short template is printed. A second ? gets you a second (more Un*x-like usage message). To get rid of the file called a, use delete "a".
