RMDIR Statement Details
 
Syntax
  RMDIR pathspec
 
The pathspec is the name of the directory which is to be deleted. The
pathspec must be a string of less than 128 characters.
 
The directory to be removed must be empty except for the working
directory ('.') and the parent directory ('..'); otherwise, one of two
error messages is printed, either "Path not found" or "Path/File access
error."
 
RMDIR works like the DOS command of the same name. However, the syntax in
BASIC cannot be shortened to RD, as in DOS.
