Howdy,

Sigh... just ran into a file with a root name that contained ( and ); rm doesn't like that.

Is there a way to surround each of the file names in the final list to delete with double quotes? That would solve all of these quirks at once.

Sorry to keep noticing these niggling things.

Good Luck,
