Actually, there is:

rename <from> <to> <files>

Useful for doing something like changing the names of files in a
directory from *.jpeg to *.jpg, for example:

rename jpeg jpg *.jpeg

lets do that...i'm a Texan living in Denmark and have strong views on
the very different health care systems in both..

[one is great, one sucks big time! but, we can't talk 'politics' here.
actually health care is not politics, but rather just a fact that
everyone breathing will need it [or a very quick exit], someday.
therefore, it is not a question of politics, economics, or governments
but rather a topic for society's humane studies...perhaps religion,
which we also can't roll out here.]

I'm not sure adding healthcare to the 'fact of life' is necessarily going
to remove it from the 'politics' category; politics are probably just as
likely to exist there when two or more people exist in the world.

Good luck.

Ok, to conclude, the solution to my question is this script here:

kioclient move "$@" trash:/

Just a reply to the responses of moving something to ~/.local/share/Trash:

• ~/.Trash does not exist on my machine (plain fresh Suse11.2/KDE4).
• Neither are there any hidden .Trash or .trash directories/files in other directories.
• When I delete a file with Dolphin, I can always observe the file being moved to
  /home/STurtle/.local/share/Trash/files/
  and some info stuff appearing in
  /home/STurtle/.local/share/Trash/info/
• Of course, I tried moving as a user, not as root, hence ~/ resolves to /home/Chazar/
  so my try was moving to /home/STurtle/.local/share/Trash/files/

Thanks to "please_try_again" for the provided link, which lead to the ktrash tool and then via Google to the correct solution.

I guess I should have asked the KDE-community, but not the Suse-crowd here.

we usually try to answer all questions for the various applications
and environments which can run on top of openSUSE....but, that is a
pretty broad selection and everyone should expect that more detailed
knowledge on the innards of KDE/Gnome/Apache/etc etc etc etc to exist
elsewhere, in more specialized forums..

and, as already mentioned the more simple ~/.Trash exists on my
machine....i wrongly assumed it would on yours also...sorry.

Well, I am sorry if that sounded more harsh than I meant it to be.

I usually have the experience to find much better help on the Suse forum!

I just found it weird how this track derailed so quickly.
