You are probably out of luck.
I seem to remember seeing a shell script that would mv files to the
trash rather that delete them, and was argument compatible with rm - so
that it could be used as a bash alias in place of rm.
If I remember - the -f switch did a real rm, but anything else got moved
to ~/.Trash/ or something.
I don't remember where I saw it.
Anyone know? It would be nice to have in the wiki.
