DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The mdel command deletes a file or files on  an  DOS  file
       system.  Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments can
       be specified.  If a read only  file  is  encountered,  the
       mdel  command  queries  whether or not to delete the file.
       Unlike the DOS convention,  DOS  subdirectory  names  that
       contain  the  '/'  or '\' separator are supported.  If you
       use the '\' separator or wildcards, you must enclose  file
       names in quotes to protect them from the shell.

       The  mcd  command  can be used to establish the device and
       the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise
       the default is A:\.
