Thanks, how to make that option permanent please?
Use a shell alias
*BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM* *BLAM* What a time tested way to shoot yourself in the foot. As per Murphy, you'll "accidentally" remove the only existing copy of your most important file WHEN (not if!) that alias is not set for whatever reason, and at the most inconvenient time (e.g. your dissertation the evening before your last chance to hand it in). Really: DO NOT ALIAS 'rm' TO 'rm -i'. EVER. THINK before you type and hit enter. You may define a seperate name for the purpose, e.g. 'rmi', and you won't do a 'rm' when you intend do to a 'rm -i'. -dnh, never been using the "Winders" recycle bin ever, for the time I used Win (ca. '94/WfW3.11-'99/W95), and I never aliased rm.
