Yup! I totally forgot. That's funny. You want to post that in Lagniappe under the heading of "By-laws of The Swamp"?

About the multiple select:

One thing to be aware of is what the action_tile $value returns.  On multiple_select=false; conditions the list_box will return a value of the quoted index (i.e. "0" or "3").  But when multiple_select=true; the returned value will be a single string that indicates which index's are selected delimited by a single space (i.e. "1 2 4 7").

I know this is the VLISP hackers forum, and everything goes better with lisp, but....

You can accomplish nearly the same thing with the OPEN dialog box.  Just hightlight the files you want to trash and hit DEL.

Maybe it should be accomplished automatically? :)

As a last resort you can always shell out through AutoCAD and do it:

(command "SHELL" "Del C:\\hello.lsp")

or

(command "DEL" "C:\\hello.lsp")  <-- also check out the pgp file for DOS commands
