I should add that since you're now deleting each directory and everything
in it, it's probably pointless to delete the files individually.  You
might want to request directories as the only type of pathnames returned
using the -type switch:

  find /edi4xxpgm/network/ix/ini -type d -mtime +30 -exec rm -r {} \;

Furthermore, just to make sure you realize this...  QShell will create a
separate job to process each rm command that it runs.  So, this is a
REALLY inefficient way to do mass-deletes.

If performance is a concern at all, I'd suggest writing the output of
'find' to a file, and cycling through that file to delete things.  That'll
run much faster.
