I also said that I though it would be a good idea to provide a *user space* solution to this; a command that people can use *instead of* rm for when they want reversible file deletion (and I think it should otherwise behave as closely to rm as possible). It seems illogical to me, Captain, to have the system behave differently just because you are using a different interface, especially for so basic a function as deletion. Our desktop environments have a trashcan feature that most "Joe User" 's use. This bites them when they run rm because they don't understand the difference. Yes, I know this is a user education issue. But that's no solution. What is wrong with an *optional*, *additional*, *separate* command that behaves (as) exactly like rm (as possible) except for being reversible? -- Lamont R.
