   Thanks for the two scripts, Bit Twister.   
      
   Do I run both del_dangles and del_files scripts separately, or does the   
      
   symlinks -r / | grep dangling > dangle.rpt ; del_dangles dangle.rpt   
      
   accomplish the whole lot?? i.e. creates the list (dangle.rpt) and then   
   delete the files using del_dangles?? (I think I've answered my own   
   question, but love confirmation!!)
