If you moved it to another folder — call it "pending deletion" — you wouldn't have the problem you are having. Trash is special in that it is designed to be trash. It is not automatically expunged just in case you deleted it by accident. It is meant to stay in there for a day or a week at most. -- Art Alexion Resources for Human Development, Inc. 215-951-0300 x3075 4700 Wissahickon Ave. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philadelphia, PA 19144 www.rhd.org
