Brian,

Thanks for your reply, but itss not a matter of
emptying the Trash.  What's happening is that I can't
get the Trash can to accept the to-be-deleted file.

I mentioned earlier that the Finder would freeze up
after one of these attempts, making it impossible to
close the application.  In observing this some more,
its not quite like that: what seems to be happening is
that the application is continuing to 'run'(load). The
mouse pointer is not frozen but is "Finder
ineffective" under these conditions. 

I found this morning that just leaving the Finder
grind away for several minutes might result in the
Trash accepting the to-be-deleted file. At that
juncture, the can could be emptied normally.
