Sending files to the Trash

Thank you Sarah (and Ken). I wanted to find a way to write directly to 
the trash from Transcript. My little utility often has to delete 
thousands of files and I'm guessing that Applescript would be quite  bit 
slower than Transcript.

Under OS 9 I think you have to drop the "." before "Trash/". This looks 
like it will work. Thanks again!
