I see you still can't spell ;-) Good to see you are using WordPress. In case you didn't know I had a hand in it's early days. Now to your tip: This is potentially unworkable, deleting wp-content is very risky, what if you are in the wrong directory? And the second time you do it, if you didn't manually remove latest.zip,you will get latest.zip.1 downloaded, but that won't be unzipped. Finally, this doesn't remove old files from previous versions that are no longer needed. That's a potential security hole. Much easier to use Subversion. Easy to set up, no risk, one command to upgrade, you can roll back if something breaks (though you should still backup your DB), etc. On the last release, I upgraded nearly 40 wordpress installations with one command and it took less than three minutes. Checkout this <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion" rel="nofollow">codex article</a> all about it. Give me a shout if you want a hand. Mike Bruce,
