How do I get the following code to work on OS X 10.2.6?

if (file "OSX:List Addresses:Fishads Addresses") exists then
tell application "Finder"
select {file "Fishads Addresses" of folder "List_Addresses" of disk
"OSX"}
delete selection
end tell
end if

You need to put the entire thing within the "tell finder" wrapper:

tell application "Finder"
if exists file "Dora:Documents:directions.txt" then
select {file "Dora:Documents:directions.txt"}
delete selection
end if
end tell

But why select and delete selection instead of deleting the file directly?

tell application "Finder"
if exists file "Dora:Documents:directions copy.txt" then
delete file "Dora:Documents:directions copy.txt"
end if
end tell
