RMDIR Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Removes an existing directory.


 Syntax


  RMDIR  pathname$

 Remarks


 The  pathname$ is the name of the directory that is to be deleted. The
 pathname$ must be a string of fewer than 64 characters. The directory to be
 removed must be empty except for the working directory ( '.' ) and the
 parent directory ( '..' ); otherwise, BASIC generates one of two error
 messages, either Path not found or Path-File access error.

  RMDIR works like the DOS command of the same name. However, the syntax in
 BASIC cannot be shortened to RD, as it can in DOS.

 Example

 The following example shows how to use  RMDIR to remove a subdirectory.

 CHDIR "C.\SALES\TEMP"' Move to \TEMP subdirectory in \SALES.

 KILL "*.*" ' Remove all files in \TEMP.

 CHDIR ".." ' Move back up to \SALES.

 RMDIR "TEMP"' Remove \TEMP subdirectory.
