     DEL                                            DEL



     Name
          del, erase  - deletes files


     Syntax
          del [drive:] pathname


     Comments
          You can use the * and ? wildcards to delete  more  than  one
          file at a time.

          If the pathname is *.* the prompt ``Are you sure?'' appears.
          If  you then type y as a response, all files on the disk are
          deleted.

          Once you have deleted  a  file  on  your  disk,  you  cannot
          recover it.


     Examples
          The following command deletes a file named vacation:

               del vacation

          If you have two files named vacation.apr and vacation.aug,
          you can delete them both with the following command:

               del vacation.a*


     Notes
          del/erase is an internal command.
