[PLUG] Interactive rm

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

When I first started using Linux about 5 years ago, "rm *" defaulted to
"rm -i *".

I just clumsily deleted all of the files in a directory with the numpad
-- trying to type "*.flac", I hit the enter key with the side of my
finger slightly before it hit the "." key.

How can I restore rm's default behavior so that "rm *" requires
confirmation, but "rm specified_file" does not?
