	Allows you to delete any file you designate, where filename
	designates the name of the file.
dir [/all disk0: ]	Lists files on a file system.

	The /all argument lists all files on all file systems in your system.
format [flash: bootflash: disk0: ]	Formats a file system.
	Allows you to format a linear Flash memory card (flash:), onboard
	Flash memory (bootflash:), or a new CompactFlash Disk (disk0:).
	This command also allows you to reformat a linear Flash memory
	card or CompactFlash Disk that was formatted on another type of

	therefore, we strongly recommend that you use the format
	command with caution to prevent irretrievable loss of data.

	Disk and assign to that file another (or the same) file system path

	arguments defines the destination file system path and filename.
rmdir [disk0:]directory-name	Removes an existing directory.
