Removing a Keychain Item

List,

I'm trying to remove a keychain item (a generic key) that has been tested and determined incorrect due to the user changing their account password. The code is to be used in an AS Studio Project, but since the question is more AS related than ASS, I'm posting here instead of the "other" list.

I've tried several variations, but just can't seem to come up with the right syntax. I'm hoping some kind soul might have a solution. The Dictionary for the Keychain Scripting App simply gives "delete reference" as a term, so when I attempt the following:

property theKey : "myApp"

tell application "Keychain Scripting"
	set keyList to (name of every generic key of current keychain)
	repeat with x from 1 to (length of keyList)
		if item x of keyList is theKey then
			delete (key theKey)
			-- also tried "delete (the key whose name is theKey)"
			exit repeat
		end if
	end repeat
end tell

I either get an "Access not allowed" error, or "Can't get key..." error depending on what I'm trying. Any takers?

Regards,

Jim Mitchell
