Thanks guys for the hints ... what I ended up doing was booting into OS 9, going to my desktop location and trashing it from there.
For those of you unable/unwilling to boot into OS9, the same can be accomplished with Terminal. Fire up Terminal and do the following commands <return> means hit return after typing the preceding.
cd Desktop<return> sudo rm filename <return>
Where filename is the name of the file to delete. (case is not important for the file name on Mac formatted disks, it is for the commands.)
You'll be asked for your administrative password, and the file will be gone. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group
