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.

There's a step in the right direction.

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

Remember that you've written the above.

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.

None of those will work with something which is running as part of the
operating system *or* with a running executable such as a virus.
Typically, one must exit the Windows program, go to DOS and delete such
a file.

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.

Good. Go there. Read them.

Your problem, Herr uber-oberst, is that you just cannot "delete" ME.

Sure, I can delete Millenium Edition.

Not no way. You not know how. Ergo, all you can play is the hand
with the personal denigrations cards. You keep losing. Tsk.

Sure, *chortle* Mr. Windows. Think you'll ever respond to my post
asking about your frequent and continued denigration of others? Tsk
tsk.

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

Might I ask you the same after your computer dissertation, followed by
your swipe at those who campaign for the retention of morse testing? :-)
