Even in Jag admin is not enough authority to delete this file (I tried
deleting iMovie3 and was told I did not have enough authority), you have
to be root.  OS 9.2 will let you delete it without question.

Well, remember that OS X is still young. AND, anyway, you shouldn't 
have to log in as root to do this (with Jag, you do with 10.1). I 
believe anyone who has admin privileges (which you do if you are the 
owner of the computer) should be able to change ownership with Get Info.

BTW, I don't use the Terminal for anything.
