	Are you sure you aren't using ARP, or something?  Standard AmigaDOS
commmands will find all those programs except "Proganny" if you use
"Program#?"

	It's a great way of getting rid of Trashcans on floppies:

		delete df0:Trashcan#? all

	Deletes "Trashcan.info", everything in the "Trashcan" directory, and
then deletes the "Trashcan" directory.  No "kludge" required.

	Make sure you're using REAL AmigaDOS commands...
