The sad fact of life with a CDRW is that once it has been written, all you can do with it is erase it and start again. Use the disc utility. Files cannot be dragged to the trash from the CD. Given the low price of new CD's, it does not seem to make very much financial sense these days to by CDRW's. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K. klutch-at-erols.com -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
