OS X deleteFile

1) Pre-OS X I could delete a file with Jon's
commands deleteFile command and avoid
using the Finder and the need to empty the
trash.

Is there an equivalent way to delete a file in OS X
without the need to empty the trash?

2) A related question:

I am generating many temporary files using:

set theFile to open for access (yadda yadda)

Is there some way that I can use the reference
to the file in the variable "theFile" to delete it or
will I have to tell the Finder the path and file
name? The variable "theFile" just contains what
looks like an integer, but I suspect it's some
other kind of reference. In any case, the Finder
doesn't know what to do with it.

Thanks!

Ken Fleisher
