+Rmw is a program written in C, designed to help manage your files and
+prevent accidents at the command line. Rmw can send files to your "Desktop"
+trash, or a completely separate folder. It can also: restore files; permanently
+delete files that were rmw'ed more than xx number of days ago; skip files or
+directories that have a "PROTECT" directive in the configuration file; and
+append a unique string to the filenames so they won't get overwritten
+(duplication protection).

+See the NEWS file for details about new options for your existing
+rmw configuration file. The two new options are:

+force_not_required
+,removable (the leading comma is mandatory)
+
After rmw is installed, create the user configuration directory by typing
'rmw' and hitting enter. Afterward, it's recommended to copy /etc/rmwrc (or
/usr/local/etc/rmwrc) to $HOME/.config/rmw and then rename it to 'config':

== Purging ==
If purging is 'on', rmw will permanently delete files from the folders

== -z option ==
-While -z can restore files at the command line, you have to specify
-the full path (wildcards ok).
-Example: rmw -z ~/.trash.rmw/files/*.iso
+To restore a file, or multiple files, specify the path to them in in the
+<WASTE>/files folder (wildcards ok).
+e.g. 'rmw -z ~/.local/share/Trash/files/foo*'
-The other way is be in the WASTE/files/ folder; then using only
-the basename will work.
+Files can also be restored using only the basename, from within any directory.
+NOTE: That feature will not process wildcards unless the user is in a
+<WASTE>/files folder and the filespec actually exists in the present
+working directory.
