I've had a problem calling the commands built-in to command.com under
NT4.0, 'del' is one such example.  I assume this is because there is no
such
thing as del.com or del.exe, and make doesn't call it's commands via
command.com.

Is there a syntax to indeed call 'del' from within a makefile, without
having to
write my own "del.exe" or calling any other 'del' equivalent (like rm)?
