     Once in a while, if you use "del *.*" to delete files in a directory,
a hidden directory will be generated called "DELETED".  What does it do?
Why is it sitting there?  My DOS is version 5.

     Please e-mail answers to me.  If I don't get a response for a few
days, I will repost this will "USA" distribution.  Thanks.
