function deleteFile(){
   var delAnyway = false;
   var selIndex = document.theForm.menu.selectedIndex;

   var selFile = document.theForm.menu.options[selIndex].value;
   if (DWfile.getAttributes(selFile).indexOf('R') != -1){
      delAnyway = confirm('This file is read-only. Delete anyway?');
      if (delAnyway){
         DWfile.remove(selFile);
      }
   }
}
