Well I never - I rarely delete locked files. I tried this and as you
so succinctly pointed out GIGO crashed :-(

The trouble is I couldn't remember where I stored the program ;-)

This is the main reason I liked Bin on Select - always available and
locked files can be deleted without errors. I don't suppose anyone is up
for writing a version for RISC OS 5 users.
