Type on a OS/2 command prompt "help deldir" (ofcourse without the quotes),
that brings up the appropriate page in the CMDREF.INF file.

With the SET DELDIR= statement, any files that are deleted from the system by
an application or from a command prompt will be placed in the directory
specified by the DELDIR statement. These files will take up disk space up to
the amount specified in the DELDIR statement.

To undelete files which are *really* deleted and are not yet overwritten in
whole or in part in the meantime, there are 3rd party undelete programs, such
as Phoenix/2 (freeware, works perfect for FAT- and HPFS-partitions not greater 
than 2 GB), and The Gammatech Utilities suite and The Graham Utilities suite
both are commercial and both contains an undelete program. AFAIK, both have
try-before-you-try versions. I have the Gammatech Utilities and sometimes use
its undelete program on my 4 GB HPFS partition with success.
