My understanding is that non-recursive means, I think there are no (non- empty?) subdirectories, or I haven't given the matter any thought, so if there are any such subdirectories, tell me and don't do anything. Recursive means I want everything deleted regardless. BICBW. -- Mike Barnes Cheshire, England -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
