What were you trying to do?
expunge the deleted files in a directory
What's wrong:
after typing "expunge ." there were still two .#* files in the
directory. (there were ~ 30 originally.) As far as I could tell,
there was nothing special about them. "expunge ." again made them go away.
What should have happened:
expunge should have worked right the first time.
