"I'm still wondering why rm returns an error when the thing you are trying to delete doesn't exist."
Your intention: to delete a file called 0nefile.
You type in: rm Onefile
On completion of rm, 0nefile still exists because you didn't tell rm to remove it. If rm doesn't return an error you're no wiser to this unless you then run ls. Wouldn't it be handy if rm gave you some feedback to tell you you'd typed in an incorrect filename?
