Although the 'rm -i' command from vidyadhar85 does work. I want it to display the directory contents one-by-one than ask me to delete.
I changed the 'FILESIZE=' to the new one posted by shamrock but it goes through the current directory first than the directory I listed on the command line, command is ./file-info mytestdir
It's supposed to go through the optional directory not both. What's going on?

mdir(1) General Commands Manual mdir(1)
NAME
mdir - mtools utility to display contents of a DOS directory
SYNOPSIS
mdir [-w] msdosdirectory
mdir [-w] msdosfile [msdosfile...]
OPTIONS
Specifies wide output. Enables file names to be displayed across the page without displaying the file size or creation date.
DESCRIPTION
The mdir command lists the contents of a DOS directory. Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments are supported. If the component of
the path is not a directory, an error occurs. The mdir command assumes a new disk if the current path held in the file is invalid.
DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose
file names in quotes to protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
RESTRICTIONS
The mdir command does not support the /P (pause) option.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mdir: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the cur-
rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file

Commands: mcd(1), mtools(1)
