I have a need for the modulen call to delete a series of files.
Operating System: WinNt 4 Sp6
SAS version 8.2

 I know I could use the call system('delete *.txt')  with the noxwait
option in effect, but have been asked for a more tidy solution.  The
ultimate objective is to remove directories (for which I have the api
syntax) but I cannot do that untile the directory is empty.

Any clues much appreciated.
