Yeah, I know...
I avoided mentioning it specifically becuase of the complaint Marc
mentioned - i.e. what it should say. I've no wish to get involved in
that flamewar myself. :-)
Allow me to say, however, that this is the first time in N months
anyone has been confused by the message. I doubt that the person
really didn't know how to remove a file; rather, I suspect that the
user was overly conditioned to simply respond with whatever the error
message says. I dunno. Probably ``remove the file (something like `rm
.xrnlock' or `delete .xrnlock')' or similar would do it, but my time
at OLC convinced me that you can never get *all* of the users.
Remember: `Where is the Any key?'.
Other suggestions?
