Re: gambas residual gumph

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dang it!! another stupid script bug :( seems rm does not work in the ~/
home path if i quote it using Shell(sDir)

So the line...
      Shell "rm -vrf " & Shell(sDir) Wait
has to be...
      Shell "rm -vrf " & sDir Wait
I attached the edit.
