  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    This function removes the directory entry for the file whose pathname
    is given in the ASCIIZ string pointed to by DS:DX. Wildcard characters
    may not be used in the pathname specification. (Note that the
    corresponding FCB function, Function 13h, does permit wildcard
    characters.)
 
       Notes:         To delete a read-only file, first remove the read-
                      only attribute with Function 43h.
