Thanks John,
Of all the replies I got this is the only that sort of works.
As a test, it runs but adding an "on error" shows that the "try" did nothing. But at least it doesn't crash.
FYI,
The reason for the try block was so the script could run on any Finder window. I know I cannot delete a file from a CD.
