[Coco] Recursively delete directories

[Bill Pierce]

Mark Marlette, I was just looking at the deldir source in the repo and saw the same thing, though my idea is to add a cmdline parm "-s".
At the start of the source, add a parm check and if the "-s" is present, then set a flag.
When the program does the user prompt, check the flag, if the flag is set, then jump the user prompt. I think theres a flag that needs to be set here as well. The user prompt sets for d, l, & q (delete, list & quit), we would need to set for "d", though I still haven't traced down what exactly that value is or where to put it.

Ed,

Many years ago in our Color Computer Club here in Mpls, TC^3. Robert Brose did a presentation on how to do just this.

He disasm deldir, then found the prompt reference code and NOP'd it out. It was very simple to do. We called it kildir

I have this on one of my systems at the cabin. If you don't get a response here then let me know and I will email it to you.

I'm looking for a OS9 Level 2 utility that silently deleted all 
subdirectories and the files con]tained in them. Kind of like a 
combination of DelDir and clearD

Thanks
