NAME
     mdel - delete an MSDOS file

SYNOPSIS
     mdel [ -v ] msdosfile [ msdosfiles...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     Mdel deletes a file on an MSDOS filesystem.

     Mdel will allow the following command line option:

     v    Verbose mode.  Echo the filenames as they are pro-
          cessed.

     Mdel will ask for verification prior to removing a read-only
     file.

     MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
     or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
     will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
     them from the shell.

     The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the
     current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
     default is A:/.

SEE ALSO
     mcd(1)

BUGS
     Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow the MSDOS
     convention.
