Then, type x to delete them. Dired will prompt you with =93Delete D [251 files] (y or n)=94 with a list of files to be deleted on the top pane. However, when you have more files to fit in a window, part of the list is not visible, and there's no way to view them. You can't page up/ down, cant scroll it. I haven't found a way to view it. anyone got a method? Xah
