Probably this will be named by a number, e.g.
55
which would be worksheet # 56, starting at zero (not counting if you
deleted some).
After getting rid of whatever you want, then you would have to
recompress it, of course, to recreate a .sws file. Minh, the command
is...? Maybe something like
tar -jcf myworksheet.sws 55
at least I think that is the correct order to put the filename and the
directory.
Since you are using VMWare, I assume that there is a way to get a
command line in the Linux virtual machine to do these things. It is
likely that StuffIt or whatever Windows utility does this sort of
thing can also do all this, but I am not sure about how to get it to
restuff into a nonstandard filename ending (like .sws).
