Here are some commands that have been implemented here.  We run B 4.2 on a
Pyramid 90x.  These commands go in your .cshrc file.


 
#bye along with rm and unrm allows you to get rid of files temporarily and
#then flushes them when you log out normally.  If you have not logged using
#the "bye" alias the files will not disappear.  This is especially useful for
#system crashes.  If you wish to retrieve them you can use
#unrm, this ONLY works if you have not yet logged out. Rm stores them in the
#limbo directory which you must first create in order to use these procedures.
   
alias bye 'chmod 755 $HOME/limbo/.* >& /dev/null;chmod 755 $HOME/limbo/* >& /dev/null;\rm $HOME/limbo/.* >& /dev/null; \rm $HOME/limbo/* >& /dev/null;close limbo'

alias rm 'mv \!* $HOME/limbo'    
alias unrm 'mv $HOME/limbo/\!* $cwd'
