The directories I was trying to delete contained a rather large mix of
things - executables, text, IFF pictures, some with and some without
icons.  I can guarantee, however, that none of the programs I was trying
to delete was running at the time (I was deleting them 'cause I didn't
want them).  Since I only have a single floppy   :-(   , I was assuredly
using OFS.  I'm not sure about "CLI Locks," I'm not even sure what they
are.  And the drawer may have contained other drawers, but I can't
remember, and it shouldn't matter anyway, right?

Has anybody else experienced this problem that can maybe narrow it down
for me?  I'm running a stock 500 with the A501 and 1084 monitor, plus the
AmigaModem.  (Pretty basic - I'm short on cash!)  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
