Nope that didn't do it.
I must confess on this occasion I forgot to google so I appologise and
thanks for reminding me. I suppose the interesting thing about asking a
group of real people is the diversity in the answers you receive. This
also helps in building background knowledge. Using google I probably
would have found the first working solution and stopped. This way as
well as the suggestion to include the path first I also learnt that --
ends the command options.
So thank you very much to all of you for your suggestions. BTW rm ?n
does not work for me.
