As much as I disagree with Skeeve in general, I must agree with the

about emptying the Trash. I don't want any app emptying it without my

immediately after putting something in. But if for whatever reason I
haven't done that, I certainly don't want an app doing it for me
without
warning. By the same token, if the Trash suddenly has stuff in it
that I
didn't put there, that'll make my nose twitch as well, and I'll
waste time
looking to see what's in there...
I understand. That's the reason that my script left stuff in the
Temporary Items folder and didn't move them to the trash.
However, if something suddenly appeared in the trash after running a
script, my first inclination would be that the script put it there.
And if I ever distributed a script that put something in the trash, I
certainly would note that in the documentation.

Of course, who actually reads documentation?
