i made `trash' after accidently deleting some files between backups,
and i've used it ever since--it's saved my teeth more times than i can
count on one hand. perhaps the community can benefit as well.
peace.

Title: trash -- a simple `trashcan' command
Version: 1.0
Entered-date: 25-Jan-1995
Description: `trash' provides a simple trashcan facility for the
shell command line. `trash' ``deletes'' files by
moving them to a ``trashcan'' directory, which
defaults to `$HOME/.trash'. `trash' can manage a
user's trashcan with `--view' and `--empty' commands.

DESCRIPTION
`trash' provides a simple trashcan facility for the shell command
line. `trash' ``deletes'' files by moving them to a ``trashcan''
directory, which defaults to `$HOME/.trash'. `trash' can manage a
user's trashcan with `--view' and `--empty' commands.
LIMITATIONS
--Does not work well for directories or symbolic links on a different
filesystem from the trashcan directory.
--Does not provide a facility to prompt the user when emptying the
trash (coming soon?).
--Cannot trash files recursively (like `rm -r').
