Short:    Deletes files via requester

Type:     util/misc


OVERVIEW

 Just a simple program to open a requester for deleting files,
 rather than having to resort to a directory utility, cli or
 using the Workbench delete menus. I really wrote this program
 for two reasons...

 1. So my brother could delete files he had created in Wordworth
    without having to resort to learning the use of Directory Opus
    etc. which also means he is unlikely to delete any of my files!

 2. As a little project in how to use requesters in Blitz Basic


USAGE

 Erase is best used by adding it to your Workbench menus using a program
 such as Toolsdaemon. There are two tooltype that may be set...

 PATH - This sets the default directory the file requester opens when
        Erase is run. Intially set to - Sys:

 PATTERN - The pattern used by the requester. Initally set to -  #?

 Just run Erase and select the files you want to delete. Hold down the
 shift key to select multiple files. Just click on 'Okay' when you've
 selected the required files - job done. :-)


This program may be freely distrubuted. Provided 'as is' and without warranty,
you use this program entirely at your own risk!

The source code for Blitz is available to programmers in the dev/misc path. ;-)
