Good grief! I thought that everyone had aliased "rm" to "mv". Try putting these lines in your .cshrc: # safe rm. moves things to /tmp, where the system can garbage collect alias rm 'mv \!* /tmp/wunder' You are free to use your own login name instead of mine for your directory. It is polite to occasionally find and remove everything that hasn't been touched in the last few days (use of the "find" command is left as an exercise ...). w underwood PS: A friend of mine refuses to do this. He believes that accidentally blowing away useful files "builds character". The mv is slower anyway.
