Recycle File

[ahenry3068]

Sorry, ahenry that didn't do it either.

SHELL "trash myfile.txt" works for me when the file is in the current working directory - QB folder here.

   Well hell.   Then do that !   It's certainly a lot simpler than Applescript.  

I would guess it should work with a full pathname too.   (adding Quotes around it if it has spaces in it !)

after the if FileExists I would add

    if Instr(File$, chr$(32)) > 0 then File$ = chr$(34) + File$ + Chr$(34) 

Space's in file names need to be quoted on the command line !
