I need help trying to empty the trash.  In making a copy of some  
files I found that I couldn't copy them to the firewire drive, saying  
that "code3dig" was busy.  I had no idea what that was, so to find  
out I made a copy of the entire folder, then put the original in the  
trash and emptied.  Ahhhh, I couldn't empty several of the files,  
"code3dig" was busy.

It seems that an old forms design program "Informed" (That I have not  
used in years) has a font by the name of code3Dig that is in the  
Sample Bar Code Fonts.  Now this has never appeared before, I have  
made copies of that folder forever but now somehow this bar code font  
is active.

I have tried everything I can think of to empty the trash.  I have  
completely gotten rid of all the Informed folders, backup folders,  
etc. and according to Spotlight the only "Informed" items on the  
machine are in the trash, but I can't empty.  Years ago you could  
hold down on a key combination and start with just the bare  
extensions, and often this would allow you to do what was needed, but  
I don't know how to either "quit" the font, or override the stopping  
of the emptying.

Any help on how to do this would sure be appreciated, many thanks.
