OT: Equivalent to Windows Shift-Delete?

I generate a lot of test *.movs from FCP and they end up in the trash can.

In Windows from "My Computer" you can select the file and hold "shift"
whilst pressing delete; which bypasses the "Recycle Bin" and deleted it after
a confirmation.

Is there an equivalent option in Mac OS X to achieve the same thing?

to empty everything in the trash can, hit apple option shift delete.

to move to the trash:

command(apple)+backspace

to delete trash:

command(apple)+shift+backspace

This is slightly different; with shift-delete; this will take an active file and
bypass the recycle-bin before it goes there.

Say in Windows I am working in 3ds Max and I have a file called test1.max
I do some changes and create a new version called test2.max.
From Windows Explorer I go to the 3dsmax directory where I saved these files.
I click on test1.max; hold down shift-delete and I confirm it permanent deletion.

It gets deleted without going to the recycle bin.

(if you only press delete it goes to the recycle bin; then you have the global command
"empty recycle bin"

I am looking for a Mac equivalent.....

Thanks

There's no way to do what you want from the Mac OS X graphical interface.

(As an aside, I really don't see why this is a problem. What you're describing is exactly what the Trash is for.)

Thanks, I figured as much. It just would be nice to delete files on a file by file basic;
as this is the way I became used to doing such in the Windows world.

But I must adapt to the ways of the Mac and the PC.

Thanks
