When did bash become Swahili or was bash written in swahili.
Is the thread about swahili or bash, or both? I'm lost Roger

Well, in my book, rm is a bash command. It might not be exclusive to the bash shell, but it definitely is a bash command. Otherwise, maybe you could tell us what a bash command is to you?
You are wrong. 'rm' (meaning /bin/rm) is an executable program. Shell commands are builtin procedures such as 'cd', 'eval', etc. Unix Shells have worked this way since the beginning.
In Bash, if you want to know if a command is builtin, use 'type':
$ type rm rm is /bin/rm $ type cd cd is a shell builtin $ type type type is a shell builtin
