I thought about it, but as there's no way to --no-recursive, the posibility to alias rm='/bin/rm --children-only' would be void. There are surely other corner cases I didn't think about. E.g. I was surprised to check for children-only in a second place in the case "dir" is already empty. Have a nice day, Berny
