Recently I was downloading a file, and ran out of space on the floppy I was
writing to.  In my foolishness, I killed the comm program and left myself
with a file with nothing in it, and unable to be erased.  When I try to erase
it, I am told the file is in use.  I assume this means it is locked. 

Question:  How do you unlock this file?  then how do I erase it.

I was using vt100 and the kermit implementation within it.
