Summary: RMDIR Bug

Initial Comment:
Version : 2.14
OS      : Windows XP SP2

The command:

   RMDIR /R Directory

does not recursively delete the directory if the 
directory contains a file name that begins with 2 
dots.

For example:

   Directory\..FileName1

I suspect the code for RMDIR assumes that any 
directory entry beginning with "." or ".." represents 
the current directory entry or the parent directory 
entry.

The code should be modified to check if the directory 
entry is a file or a directory; if it is a file then 
delete it.

thanks,
David Campbell
