This should be an easy one that has probably been asked before.  We all
know that PURGEDIR will only purge empty directories if ;NOTREE is
specified.  But how does one check for directory "emptyness"?  i.e.:

IF DESPAIR TRUE THEN
   PURGEDIR
/MYACCT/MYGROUP/myHFSdir/anotherHFSdir/yetanotherHFSdir/;NOTREE
ENDIF

Or, using MPEX's REPEAT:

REPEAT
  --(insert some magical check for emptiness check here)--
  SETVAR VANITY TRUE
  IF VANITY TRUE THEN
    PURGEDIR /MYACCT/MYGROUP/myHFSdir//;notree
  ENDIF
  SETVAR VANITY FALSE
FORFILES /MYACCT/MYGROUP/myHFSdir//@
