	Yeah, it is placed in a way that you could
think "Delete" was the "Open" button.  I can imagine.  
But this wouldn't hardly be a problem if it was in the 
RMB menu.
	Also, if something isn't going to be in a 
recoverable place like the TrashBin, it should probably 
always ask, "Are you sure you want to delete this file?"
Too bad Civ doesn't support the TrashBin.  Oh well, you
only get better playing Civilizations again!
