Hi,

I have been reading for some time the comments about DEL A.O responding with
a ARE YOU SURE? prompt.

What it looks like to me is the original poster had a directory named A.O, and
the are you sure prompt was justified. And after the delet was completed, all
the files in that directory were wiped. Of course, had they the Norton programs
they could have recovered the lost files without incident.

My opinion.
