    Wow....That's heavy,  Karl.......But I am not personally
interested in Perl,  and I could get the same functionality
from bash with  a 1/10 of the code.....
    A function that offered each file up for a y/n  decision
would be simple enough,  IF  I thought it was necessary...

Do you do bash too?  And if so,  can you relate your
skills to a newbie like me?  That's some pretty sophisticated programming
......! ! !

I am slowly learning C too.....Not the o-o  variety , though.....
