 names         Specifies a list of one or more files or directories.
               Wildcards may be used to delete multiple files. If a

 attributes    R  Read-only files            S  System files
               H  Hidden files               A  Files ready for archiving

The display semantics of the /S switch are reversed in that it shows
you only the files that are deleted, not the ones it could not find.

 /W          Uses wide list format.
 /X          This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file
             names.  The format is that of /N with the short name inserted
             before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are
             displayed in its place.
 /4          Displays four-digit years

Switches may be preset in the DIRCMD environment variable.  Override
preset switches by prefixing any switch with - (hyphen)--for example, /-W.
