How can I control invisible files

Hi,

I just discovered that when scripting Finder windows (size, location, etc.), if they misbehave, deleting the .DS_Store file helps.

Only problem is that, apparently, the invisibles must be visible to delete them.

Question; Is there a way to detect and control the Hide/Show Invisibles.

if controlKeyDown then -- delete file ".DS_Store
delete file ".DS_Store"
end if

TIA,

Robert Poland
