empty trash with locked files

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to write a script that
would empty the trash even though locked files are in it.

I would have folders within folders of locked files
all over the place, therefore I can't just unlock
the locked files one directory at a time as the folder
names change constantly.
Is there a way to script the "option key" while emptying the
trash?
Or is there a way to unlock all files in the trash first,
but be able to unlock files in more than one folder?

I'm running a G4 with OS 9.0.4 with applescript 1.4.3

Thanks for any help!

Mike
