"... The selection marquee doesn't work in any non-icon view. "I've always had to shift-click each file I want deleted, then drag them all as "a unit, which is a major pain. I think this is one area where a CLI is better. You can get the marquee to work by beginning your drag well away from any file entry. For general use, this would involve making the window wide enough to include about 3/4 inch to the right of the entries. Then begin dragging out there. This isn't as neat as having regular expression file naming capabilities, though. (I have used patterns on a UNIX machine like "[0-9]*.tex".) -- Wayne Folta (folta@cs.umd.edu 128.8.128.8)
