I'd have to third the wish-list on this one.  I know the reason you don't
have a trashcan is because of Apple's shakey trigger finger on look-and-feel
lawsuits...  But it is difficult to convince a mac user that executor is
easy with the current file deletion methods.  I would opt for the ability
to just hit "delete" and have the selected file get trashed.  (of course
with a dialog box that says, "are you sure"-- and multi-select would also
help out)

---Also on a side note:

Would it be possible to have a Macintosh partition?  Can any of ardi's 
disk formating routines be able to create a partition?  The reason I ask 
is because ideally I'd like to have a mac partition that could be shared 
by OS/2 and Linux, then executor could work the same (i.e. same 
filesystem) in both systems...  I know I could just use an .hfv file on 
the dos partition, but this just seems kind of clunky.  (of is it just my 
warped perception?  Should I not be concerned that its an emulated 
filesystem?)
