Permanent Delete Function?
I installed Panther and so far it feels pretty much like Jaguar with some fun bells and whistles.
The on function I am looking for is the ability to delete files permanently with a writeover. This was touted pre-release, but I cannot find it. Help is appreciated. |

search Mac OS Help (the help menu) for either delete or erase, one of the topics should be what you're looking for.

Found It
I found it. It operates differently than I would have thought. You cannot designate one file to be deleted "permanently" and others to be deleted normally. I would have thought a <ctrl> click on an item would have given the option to delete permanently. Instead, you have to choose to empty the trash can permanently by selecting Finder: Secure Empty Trash.

Under the "Finder" menu there is an option called "Secure Empty Trash".
