useful for scripts

You can use the yes program. `yes | google xxx` will answer all y/N prompts 
with yes.
See http://linuxmanpages.com/man1/yes.1.php for more information.

Agreed.  (But of course it can't distinguish between "are you sure?" messages 
and other prompts for input, so --yes is still preferable)

Currently (as a workaround) there is a 'delete_prompt' property on 
'.googlecl/config' file.

Attached a patch proposal to this issue.

Currently if you run "google docs delete" ***ALL** documents are prompted to be 
deleted. With --yes all the documents would be moved to trash without ask... =:O

Yeah, see issue 4 for a proposal to add a --everything flag to make such things 
explicit

It seems easy to add the --everything flag. I'll try.

I'm implementing "--everything" flag only for "delete" tasks. Anyone thinks 
that have sense for any other task on any service?

I think it's useful for more than just delete.  People with lots of
files in docs or picasa probably want to explicitly say --everything
when doing a get rather than having everything come down when they
just say "google picasa get".

Currently, if you don't specify a title all the documents or items are 
considered (listed, getted, deleted and so on). I think that --everything is 
interesting for security reasons to avoid deleting all the items by mistake.

Another point of view can be that the default behavior of considering all the 
items is not ok.
