Thank you Linus, that works OK.

For future reference, how would I find out about this
if we didn't have this listserver? The DOS ftp
facility uses delete (or abbreviations), so I assumed
delete was the right command.

Also, I tend to put things like this at the end of the
curl command line, not the beginning. Is there a
preferred way of doing it? And if so, why?
