Summary
Deletes a document from disc. A backup file is not kept and no warning is given -- only use tkf if you are absolutely sure about it! Deleting a document from disc whilst still inside 3B2 can be useful if you have written a script that, for instance, needs to write temporary files to disc; or, more simply, if you've made a mistake when saving a document and just want to get rid of it.
Example extract

The macro shown below lists any files with the extension .bak in the current directory, showing both their names and file sizes:

 tkf "**.bak

Syntax (SVNNA)
tkf Ø
tkf  file:s?
file:s

The name of the file you want to delete. If the file parameter contains wildcard characters a list of matching files will appear in a menu from which you can make a multiple selection. The wildcard can take one of three forms, for example:

*.3d  File names only.
**.3d  File names, file size.
***.3d  File names, file size, number of pages.
