I am just guessing that you are in X using a file manager and have left-clicked your mouse button. The system then assumes you want to run or view the file and asks you "with what". With most file managers you need to RIGHT-click over the file. This will bring up a small menu which includes "delete' as one of its options. Hope I guessed correctly, and that my message helps you. -- Regards, Brian ******************************************************** Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow Flinders University Institute of International Education Bus 8201 3480 FAX 8449 9199 bastill@sa.apana.org.au ******************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
