Ok, looking at the Edit Commands help, it seems to me it would be possible to make a command to delete files like explained below:

In a \DOCS folder, I have 12 sub-directories, one for each month of the year... Is there a way to delete ALL *.TXT files in ALL 12 sub-directories without going into each sub-dir and individually selecting the TXT files and selecting delete from the popup menu?

Could it be made so that all I have to do is hightlight the 12 subdirs and the command automatically deletes all *.TXT files inside the dirs??

Any suggestions?

Tools -> Find files on FTP Server

Now enter *.doc as the seatch pattern and it will find the files, select all of the files, then right click, a menu will appear, select delete.
