dsw(I) (from my 5th edition manual, in later editions dsw
was replaced by rm -i):

NAME
	dsw -- delete interactively

SYNOPSIS
	dsw [directory]

DESCRIPTION
	For each file in the given directory (`.' if not specified)
	dsw types its name.  If y is typed, the file is deleted;
	if x, dsw exits; if new-line, the file is not deleted; if
	anything else, dsw asks again.

SEE ALSO
	rm(I)

BUGS
	The name dsw is a carryover from the ancient past. Its
	etymology is amusing.
