  This is answered, in question number 2, in the Frequently Asked Questions
posting for the comp.unix.questions newsgroup.  If this article has expred at

via anonymous ftp from pit-manager.mit.edu (18.72.1.58) in the file

    /pub/usenet/comp.unix.questions/Frequently_Asked_Questions_about_Unix_-_with_Answers_[Monthly_posting]

If you don't have anonymous ftp access, then send mail to

    send usenet/comp.unix.questions/Frequently_Asked_Questions_about_Unix_-_with_Answers_[Monthly_posting]

  It would be a good idea for you to read this posting before posting, or at
least scan it, before posting questions to the comp.unix.* newsgroups again.

  And, by the way, one answer to your question is

    rm 'xmas card'
