Yes, dir is directory.  You shouldn't need to clear the cache in pan if
you are just keeping it from getting clogged up, as pan's default cache is
only 10 MB anyway, so it pretty much /has/ to get cleaning it right as at
least with binary groups, it doesn't take a lot of posts to fill 10 MB! 
Therefore, I wouldn't worry about it at all, with new-pan.  Of course with
old-pan there were issues with memory scaling once one got more than a few
thousand headers in a group, but that was headers not so much cache.

OTOH, if you are trying to keep your pr0n habit from snooping wife or mom
(or now days jealous boyfriend =8^P), that's an entirely different beast,
and what I thought you were asking about when you asked about clearing
cache. That's why I mentioned headers. =8^)
