What were you trying to do?
print from matlab

What's wrong:
After printing matlab-something.ps, it tries to do
rm matlab-something.ps
I happen to have rm aliased to rm -i, like a good boy (not good enough
to only use delete; I hate that) and matlab, after printing, does a
rm: matlab-something.ps? y
<some matlab error saying it doesn't know what y is>

What should have happened:

One could argue that I ought to unalias my rm and only deal with delete, but
still, it IS a bug that matlab uses rm and not /bin/rm to get rid of
the temporary file.
