          _M_s_d_o_s_r_m removes a file or  a  subdirectory  from  an  MS-DOS
          medium.   _M_s_d_o_s_r_m  supports  the  hierarchical  MS-DOS  file
          structure, using  "/"  as  the  path  separation  character.
          _M_s_d_o_s_r_m does not support wild-carding filenames.

          The options are:

               ----hhhh   allows _m_s_d_o_s_r_m to remove hidden  files.   If  this
                    option  is  not specified, _m_s_d_o_s_r_m will not find a
                    hidden file.

               ----rrrr   results  in  a  recursive  remove.   If  the  file
                    specified   is   a   subdirectory,   _m_s_d_o_s_r_m  will
                    recursively   remove   its   contents   (and   its
                    subdirectories)  and  then  remove  the  directory
                    itself.  This option _m_u_s_t be specified to remove a
                    subdirectory  _e_v_e_n  _i_f  _i_t  _i_s _e_m_p_t_y.  A recursive
                    remove respects hidden files; that is it will  not
                    remove  a  path  to a hidden file (the file itself
                    and its parent directories) unless the  ----hhhh  option
                    is specified.

          msdosrm -r /dev/rfd.1:mydir
               removes subdirectory "MYDIR" and all of  the  files  in
               that subdirectory.

          msdosrm -h /dev/r9133.fd:hidfile
               removes the hidden file "HIDFILE".
