Delete a group from within a group script

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ken,

Thanks, I just figure that out. It seems that since the object that  
started the script was in the group I was getting errors so I did the  
equivalent of what you wrote.

Thanks again,

Now I just need to figure out why the defaultFolder keeps acting up.
