The command 'rm *' gave the error 'zsh: argument list too long'. If expansion doesn't support so many parameters, what it's the supossed way to remove all these files without deleting the directory? thanks, -- David Gómez "The question of whether computers can think is just like the question of whether submarines can swim." -- Edsger W.
