        !            12: .it Rm
        !            13: removes the entries for one or more files from a directory.
        !            14: If an entry was the last link to the file, the file
        !            15: is destroyed.
        !            16: Removal of a file requires write permission in its directory,
        !            17: but neither read nor write permission on the file itself.
        !            18: .s3
        !            19: If there is no write permission to a
        !            20: file designated to be removed,
        !            21: .it rm
        !            22: will print the file name, its mode and then
        !            23: read a line from the standard input.
        !            24: If the line begins with \fBy\fR, the file is removed,
        !            25: otherwise it is not.
        !            26: The optional argument
        !            27: .bd \*-f
        !            28: prevents this interaction.
        !            29: .s3
        !            30: If a designated file is a directory,
        !            31: an error comment is printed unless the optional
        !            32: argument
        !            33: .bd \*-r
        !            34: has been used.
        !            35: In that case,
        !            36: .it rm
        !            37: recursively deletes the
        !            38: entire contents of the specified directory.
