For some unknown reason this prompted me to look at the rm manpage for the

hell of it (yeah, bored and tired at the moment). There's an odd comment in

the STANDARDS section which says
    "The interactive mode used to be a dsw command, a carryover from the an-

    cient past with an amusing etymology."
That piqued my interest further (yeah, still bored and still tired at the

moment) so I googled away and found this tidbit about the mysterious dsw

command: http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2008/03/18/a-bit-of-history
