When I issue a command like &quot;rm -i *.txt&quot;, it responds with a question that I type &#39;y&#39; for every line. I recall a way to issue a &#39;y&#39; to every question. I thought it was &#39;y!&#39; but that doesn&#39;t seem to work. Does anyone know this trick.<br>


<br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Eric<br></font><br>p.s. yes, I know I can use \rm *.txt or rm -f *.txt for this specific trite case, but there are other situations where this would be helpful.<br><br>
