Bernie,

I tried the ls -il command. It did list the files in my Desktop directory, with 
in ode numbers, but it did not list the two "ghost" files that I am trying to 
delete, so no luck with that method.

Lee,

The Get Info command does not work on these files. If I select one and press 
Cmd-I (or select "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu), nothing happens. Or, 
actually, when I press Cmd-I, I see the "File" menu word light up momentarily, 
as if the command is being implemented, but no info window appears. Very 
strange.
