# pick - script to select items.  pick should be used in backquotes like this:
#        rm `pick *.pl`
# or
#        mv `pick` /dest
#
#        Usage:  To select an item, enter 'y'.  To skip an item enter 'n'.
#                to skip all reamining items enter 'q'.  If no arguments are given
#                to pick, it assumes you wish to pick through files in the current
#                directory (that is, a default argument of `*' is assumed).
#
#        BUGS:   No effort has been made to make this script secure, it should be
#                re-written in C!
