I requested for a cleanup script sometime back, and quite a
lot of netters responded. Thanks to all of you. Here is
the summary of what I learnt.

the command
find ~ -name '*.dvi' -print
will print all files with .dvi extension under my home directory
and the hierarchy below.

find ~ -name '*.dvi' -exec rm -i {} \;

will attempt deleting all the .dvi files in  my
home directory and the hierarchy below.
