Apple's marvelous program ResEdit has a whole set of functions many people don't know about. Select a file, and instead of opening it, choose Get Info from the file menu. You can rename it, change its type, its dates, and its bits (such as locked and visibility.) To delete a file, select it and instead of opening it, select Clear from the Edit menu. These techniques should allow you to make invisible folders visible and to delete them. Be careful: One invisible file, at least, (DeskTop) is necessary for the operation of the system. --- David Phillip Oster -- "We live in a Global Village."
