Delete lot of files

[og900aero]

When I select 2044 files and want to delete, but I have a problem:

1. When use :delete , then works fine
2. When use lf -remote "send $id delete", the get error message: running shell: fork/exec /usr/bin/sh: argument list too long

That is because when running shell commands, the list of selected files is exported as $fs/$fx. If this list is too large, then it will exceed the size limit for the environment table and result in an error.

I don't know what can be done about this though. This feature predates my involvement, and I suspect dealing with thousands of selected files was never a practical enough use case to bother dealing with.
