Hi Bill Have the delete message on your stack script and use 'send "deleteTheImage myImage" to this stack in 0 sec'. This will then wait until the current message path has completed and then run the deleteTheImage command. That way there will be no more scripts running that will stop it deleting.
Hope this helps Sean Cole *Pi Digital Productions Ltd* www.pidigital.co.uk +44(1634)402193 +44(7702)116447 π 'Don't try to think outside the box. Just remember the truth: There is no box!'
