Thanks... I finally nuked it with "rm -fff -v TkStep*" and
it said "removing TkStepm-8.0.4-2.i386.rpm" And a further
check with "ls -al Tk*" shows "no such file or directory."

I may need to fsck the file system... but I'm working on my
second week of uptime (damn power isn't real reliable
here... and despite a 1KVA UPS my system reboots when the
power flickers!)
I appreciate the "shutdown" command... didn't realize you
could force a file system check like that... :-)
