Re: gambas residual gumph

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oops the script is still in test mode !
so it won't actually delete the folders it will just print the rm commands

Change these obvious 2 lines in the script so the other is un-commented to
actually make it cleanup..

     Print "rm -vrf " & Shell(sDir)
     ' Shell "rm -vrf " & Shell(sDir) Wait
