Maybe you've solved the problem by now, John, but I'm surprised no one 
mentioned iEmpty, which someone on the list led me to some months ago.   I 
think 
it's freeware from Version Tracker.    It's been so long since I used it that 
my 
original app had somehow disappeared, but last week I had a problem similiar 
to yours -- a file that was "locked or in use" (when I knew doggone well it 
wasn't).   I tracked down the website, downloaded a new iEmpty, and it cured 
the 
problem in seconds.

While I'm at it, a question about macgroup "etiquette": after being on the 
list for a couple of years (digest), I still don't know how to copy and reply 
to 
an earlier message as others seem to do.   My only solution is to open a new 
"write mail," insert the macgroup address from my address book, then copy and 
paste the post I'm responding to, which generally involves some editing and 
rewriting.    Also, I note that my (infrequent) posts are semi-garbled; many 
punctuation marks turn up as "special characters" and spaces are often lacking 
between words.    Is that because I'm on aol?   Or what am I doing wrong?

Much tnx,

Nolan
