It was partly this issue why I wrote that first script I sent.  I got 
tired of removing file attributes that my program should be doing for 
me.  It has minimal error checking, mostly only gives a message if a bad 
argument was supplied.  If a file is in use it can't delete it and I 
haven't added a call to unlock it at this time, though I may now that 
the thought comes to me but it will be awhile before I look at that 
possibility.
