Keith-
Based on all the feedback you've provided, my solution should work just 
fine for you.  Please make sure you are cd'ed into the proper directory, 
then do "ls *.PA/*".  If that returns a list of files, then "/bin/rm 
*.PA/*" will delete those files (assuming you have the proper 
permission).  Feel free to send me a screen shot which shows the exact 
commands and exact error messages you receive.  It is so often easy for 
a typo to creep into what you do on the command line and not into what 
you show/copy/paste in an email message.
