I have a file that I can't trash. It stays in the trash, even after I've shut down and tried to empty trash after a restart. I've used an old copy of disktop to unset the lock bit (always worked with 6.0.?) but that hasn't helped. Any clues? Jim

Something like this happened to me, once. I selected empty trash, and one of the files in it refused to go away. Using Macsbug to break on PBDelete, I found that some network error was being returned. Some sort of privileges problem. Since the file I was trying to trash came from a folder that was shared, I turned off FileShare and was able to delete the file. Later, I tried to reproduce the problem, but was unable. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc.
