Prevent .cshrc customizations from impacting scripts
Authored by: luomat on Aug 02, '05 09:31:15AM

Yet another example of why you should not rename existing commands.

Rather than renaming "rm" use "del" or some other name which is not in use. That way when you are in another account or on another computer and go to use 'rm' thinking it is 'safe' you won't get burned. If you are used to typing 'del' for "safe rm" and you are in an account or on a computer where it isn't installed, you just get an error message.
