Conversation – Mail Bag

I read the “new” ASK CHUCK column for this month. I was curious about the DEL.EXE or ERA.EXE which is similar to my DEL..COM and ERA. I, too can call up only certain files on the directory if I ask for those. Then I can erase them all at one time, or one at a time if there are programs that I wish to keep among those I wish to delete. However, in one particular program that I use, albeit infrequently. I can also DELETE a number of programs, but I can ajd an extra command in using it to request that I confirm each deletion before the system actually deletes that particular file. If I da not place that extra command when I call the program, it will delete or erase all those programs. This can be a mixed blessing. If it always did this, the program would take too long to function properly for speed. Since I can add it if-necessary, it is a boon for dispensing with unnecessary files. Chuck sent me his answer, but also gave me some interesting information about the Timex version for the Zebra FDD that I was not familiar with.
