Okay, I just did that using eautil. eautil can't see the hidden
directory so I did this on the parent directory, and (oddly) this
reverted the Properties "Include" back to not displaying the hidden
directory inside it. I had to again go to Properties->Include and turn
off the H mask.

UniMaint, like eautil, cannot see the Hidden subdirectory.

For some reason or other I can now move the parent directory (couldn't
do that before). So I've moved the problem directories to my temp
directory (and renamed them too).

I'm willing to try some Rexx code to delete this puppy. Some of my
in-house Rexx utilities use the Rexx SysFileTree() call, and _it_ can
see the hidden directory. From my cdn.cmd program, the following sees
the hidden directory:

/* Get a list of all subdirectories. */
rc = SysFileTree( "*", "DirTree", "D" )

My cdn.cmd (Change Directory by sequence Number) gives the following
dialog:

[H:\temp]cdn
1 EAS
[H:\temp]cdn 1
[H:\temp\EAS]cdn
1 PPWizard-20000223a.src
2 PPWizard-20000223b.src
[H:\temp\EAS]cdn 1
[H:\temp\EAS\PPWizard-20000223a.src]cdn
1 ppwizard.2
[H:\temp\EAS\PPWizard-20000223a.src]cdn 1
[H:\temp\EAS\PPWizard-20000223a.src\ppwizard.2]cdn
No subdirectories exist in current directory

Rexx can do what no other software can do. Weird weird weird.
