No, the System or Read-Only attributes aren't set. I was going to dig 
out my Extended Attribute editor, but I don't think that's the problem. 
I can see how an EA would prevent me from deleting a file while in 
Presentation Manager, but not after booting the machine to the command 
line.

'Could be wrong, though.

Thanks anyway. Take care and TTYL.
