What were you trying to do?

  I have a couple aliases that let me clean up backup files and the like.

  Here's my alias to remove ~ files in all my subdirs:

  alias pur 'find `\ls | grep -v OldFiles` -name \*~ -ok /bin/rm {} \;'
 
What's wrong:

Here's what it's doing today:
 
  plug% pur
  < /bin/rm ... >?   
  < /bin/rm ... >?   

What should have happened:

  It should have echoed the path/filename
