RE: Deleting odd stream files..

That did it.  I actually used del '/\*'.  Don't think there was anything
important in the root anyway.  At least there shouldn't have been.  Just a
devo box anyhow.
 
Thanks!

I have seen "garbage" files here in the root that you could not delete from
the WRKLNK or from Ops Nav.   Nor could you reference directly with DEL.
I talked to IBM, tried a DEL /*.* and it worked.   Of course, make sure you
do not have links (not directories, but links) that you want to keep.

DEL deletes links and not directories.    Practice on a sub directory to
make sure you know what you are doing first.

Simple 

WRKLNK

It's gone,  don't matter the name.

P.S.  So whens the book gonna be out?? 

--------- 
\\filename.txt 

It's a stream file, not a directory.  When you try and delete it, it errors 
out.  I've tried the del command but can't get rid of it. 

Tried del('/\\filename.txt') didn't work.  (This is what option 4 tries to 
do).  tried a bunch of other stuff, no dice. 

Any ideas?
