the summary-header says it all, really.  Anything that I try to "trash"
and the system won't let me, goes into that special folder.  The unfortunate
aspect, however, is, that I throw lots of stuff away, and when I finally
do an EMPTY-the-TRASHCAN, some things get (by BAD MAGIC) put back into some
folder, hidden many levels deep - and NOT ONLY AM NOT GETTING TOLD WHICH ONES,
I ALSO HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE INSULT OF HAVING TO DIG AROUND FOR NOT KNOWING
WHAT !!!!!

my solution?   rather than throwing anything into the TRASH, everything goes
into my folder DELETE-THIS-AFTER-BOOTING, sitting on the DeskTop right
next to the TRASHCAN !!!!  (if-only-I-could-figure-out-how-to-make-the-can-
appear-in-the-top-right-corner-of-the-DeskTop-after-reboot)

	I'm getting tricky with this Macintosh-OS ... just to keep my cool!
