The Manx Z editor creates backup files which it can't overwrite and
which I can't delete.  When I try 'delete file', I get the message
'object in use'.  What does this mean, and how do I get rid of this file?
When I do a 'list' on the file, I see only the 'rwed' attributes for the
file set.  (This is from the version 3.6a distribution).

Thanks in advance.
