I received the suggestion to use ResEdit for removing invisible folders. 
I tried it as suggested and I encountered the same problem I had with
several other utility programs.  When you tell these programs to select
a folder, these programs simply open it.  They won't refer to a folder
as a file.

I have a folder called "Airborne!" on the desktop of my hard disk and
this folder contains a folder called "Airborne Folder" (thanks to Bill
Gates for the obnoxious protection scheme which led to this problem!). 
The latter is an empty folder.  The finder doesn't see either of them,
but other programs do (when I do an "open", they appear in the list of
folders that can be opened).  So I am able to work with (or create) a
file within the inner of the two folders (of course there aren't any),
but I can't refer to the folders themselves.  Any attempt to refer to
them moves me within them.

I guess I will have to reformat my hard disk (sigh)!
