Does here. Of course, wildcards will not work.

OK. I should have realized you would assume otherwise. The include
properties are stored in the EAs because the folder is a persistent
object.
>UniMaint, like eautil, cannot see the Hidden subdirectory.
Not unexpected. Larry probably did not think to include them in the
search results. Too bad.

The parent probably had the NOMOVE properties set. You effectively turned
this flag off when you deleted the EAs.
>I'm willing to try some Rexx code to delete this puppy.
REXX is just another command line application. It should have no problem
deleteing the directory as long as the directory is empty and not in use
>Some of my

True. SysFileTree is implemented to work this way.
>Rexx can do what no other software can do.
Not really. REXX can do what lots of other software can do. You just are
not using any of this software. You probably own it but have not yet
installed it.
This is how it works with 4os2
[j:\tmp\00instal\work]mkdir hid
[j:\tmp\00instal\work]attrib /d +h hid
____D -> _H__D J:\TMP\00Instal\work\hid
[j:\tmp\00instal\work]dir /kmhat *
9-11-06 23:44
0 _H__D hid
[j:\tmp\00instal\work]del /xyz hid
There are no more files. "J:\TMP\00Instal\work\hid\*"
0 files deleted 2,560 bytes freed
[j:\tmp\00instal\work]dir /kmhat *
SYS0002: The system cannot find the file specified.
"J:\TMP\00Instal\work\*"
ZtBold would take about 4 keystrokes to do the job.
FM/2 would take a few mouse clicks or so.
Others can pipe in with additional testimonials about how easy it is for
their favorite file managers to do this job.
