     Deletes a directory.
    VERSION
          PC-DOS 2.0+
	  MS-DOS equivalent: RMDIR D) (2.0+)
    TYPE
          Internal
    SYNTAX
	  RMDIR [d:]path
or
	  RD [d:]path
    OPTIONS
	  [d:]path Specifies the drive and path of the directory
          to be removed.
     RD is used to remove a subdirectory that is no longer 
required.
    EXAMPLE
	  RD C:\WP\FILES\LETTERS
deletes the subdirectory LETTERS.
    MESSAGE
	  Invalid path, not directory,
	  or directory not empty
Either one of the names you specified was not a directory or was 
the current directory (which you cannot remove), or the directory 
you are trying to remove still contains files (other than the . 
and .. files) and/or subdirectories. Either check the directory 
name, change to a different directory, or delete the contents of 
the directory and then reissue the RMDIR command.
    UNDO
     Use the MKDIR command to recreate a subdirectory that you 
removed in error.
    NOTE
     Only empty subdirectories may be removed. A subdirectory is 
empty when . and .. are the only entries in it. Remove all files 
from a subdirectory by using the DEL or ERASE command first. Only 
the last subdirectory in the path you specify will be removed. 
You cannot remove the subdirectory you are currently in; you must 
change to another directory first. In addition, you cannot delete 
the root directory.
