Subject: B17.0 bug: 'rm -i' prompting

Doing 'rm -i' works on all files specified but the first:

$ :> zxy
$ rm -i zxy
rm: remove `zxy'?
$ rm zxy

rm does not wait for an answer to the prompt but exits immediately - if 
there is another argument it starts prompting correctly from that one.

Using B17.0 and Win95.
