You might see something which you perceive as similar. Then again, you
have no experience in morse code use or experience in amateur radio.
That inexperience leads you to write things like
"morsemanship-at-all-costs". Please explain what method you currently
use under MS Windows (any version) to delete a file which the Windows
program is using at that moment. Can you say "DOS"? ;-)


No problem. I can say "doss." I know that it's an acronym for Disk
Operating System.

NO Microsoft Windows product lets you delete a running file. You
have to quit the program first. [that's called "closing the file"]

Once you've quit a program that Windows had been using, you can
"drag and drop" into the Recycle Bin (via mouse), right-click on the
mouse and left-click on the "delete" in the pull-down menu, or go
to DOS level (two ways, by the way) and type in the "del filename"
at the Command prompt. Works at every Windows version from 3.3
to XP.

Is there anything else you need to know about file deletions? If so,
go to the Microsoft website and ask for help. They have lots of Help
items there.

Your problem, Herr uber-oberst, is that you just cannot "delete" ME.
Not no way. You not know how. Ergo, all you can play is the hand
with the personal denigrations cards. You keep losing. Tsk.

Now, did you want to remark on the ARRL proposal or are you having
too much fun peeing in the pool? :-)
