Umm...actually I really meant to ask "Does *del* loop forever?"

Hi Greg,

	BTW, use RMDIR to remote a symlink created with MKLINK /D.
	Do NOT use 'DEL'.. it tries to *follow* the symlink, and delete
	the files on the server. This is unlike rm(1) in unix.

I can't help but wonder - what happens if you end up with a situation like this?:

Directory called "abc" with a symlink inside to directory "def" with a symlink inside to directory "abc".

Does rmdir loop forever?

Thanks,
