Thank you Sarah (and Ken). I wanted to find a way to write directly to
the trash from Transcript. My little utility often has to delete
thousands of files and I'm guessing that Applescript would be quite bit
slower than Transcript.

Under OS 9 I think you have to drop the "." before "Trash/". This looks
like it will work. Thanks again!

Re: Sending files to the Trash
The Trash is a normal folder, just like any other, so if you can work
out the path to it, then you can just rename your file to that path
instead of using delete. I have only done this on Mac OS X, but here is
the method I use for finding the path to the Trash:
put specialFolderPath("Desktop") into trashFolder
set the itemDel to "/"
put ".Trash/" into last item of trashFolder
Cheers,
Sarah

Is there a way to do this in Rev?

RE: Sending files to the Trash
Howard, You can use AppleScript for this: tell application "Finder" move file to trash end tell The key is to make sure you create a proper file path that AppleScript will accept (i.e. colon-delimited, not "/" delimited like Rev uses). So for example, my hard disk is named "Stormwinds" and I have OS X running on it, so my AppleScript would be: tell application "Finder" move file "Stormwinds:Users:kenray:Desktop:Test.txt" to trash end tell Hope this helps, > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Howard Bornstein > Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 1:43 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Sending files to the Trash > > > Does anyone know a way to move files to the Trash or Recycle bin?

Sending files to the Trash
Does anyone know a way to move files to the Trash or Recycle bin? The Delete File command deletes them directly, but if you want to give the user the chance to retrieve files you delete, it would make more sense to move them to the trash, like a normal OS operation.
