Oh, yes - I'm sure you do - but if you are doing it in the
asyncronous DBASE process then you might just as well use
pfDelete. The whole point of pfAsyncDelete is that when run
from APP, it takes very little time - and automagically
schedules the S-L-O-W delete to happen sometime later in DBASE.
If you are already running in DBASE then you might as well call
pfDelete and save all the book-keeping overhead inside Performer.

Anyway, I'm sure that what you are doing *should* be OK.
