[NTLUG:Discuss] delete a weird file

[JM5379@sbcglobal.net]

one possibility:  try "/bin/rm -i *.com" (rm is usually an alias
for "/bin/rm -i" but i'm not assuming such is the case for your
system).  this should prompt for each file ending with .com; just
enter "y" or "n" as appropriate for each file.
