See the answer I just posted in comp.unix.questions. Next time if you're
going to post the same question to mulitple newsgroups, PLEASE specify
all the groups on the Newsgroups line. i.e.:
Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions,comp.unix.wizards
Basically do: rm - -k\@
See comp.unix.questions for all the details.
Sincerely,
