Careful Jack. Linux implements some of the commands differently than AIX and therefore PASE does. Most of the classic ones behave the same but there are differences. Some of those differences could be significant.

First of all, does anybody know where I can find "man pages" or
other helptext on the standard PASE commands available in a QP2TERM session?
On a Linux system. Which is why all you i jockeys need a Linux system handy. Or just google
Linux Manual rm
And second, suppose I have an IFS directory, "/foo"; suppose it
contains a large tree of subdirectories. What's the fastest way to
get rid of everything in "/foo" (with or without getting rid of "/foo"
itself)?
*cd /foo*
*rm -rf **
... removes everything that doesn't start with a dot (.) All that will be left is the .somethings .woof .arf.foo.bar files and directories.
So after rm -rf * do an ls -al and remove anything except . and .. by *rm
-rf* 'ing it by its .name
. is the current dir
.. is the parent
