My #system patch will let you do this.  I believe I have the
record for the simplist patch (maybe 5 lines of C code :))
to get incorporated into SuperPatch, so if you use SuperPatch,
just do (assuming the file to be deleted has its name stored
in FileName):

#system concat("rm ", FileName)   // UNIX
#system concat("del ", FileName)  // DOS

etc.

Of course, this won't recognize file handles, so it is not
the ideal solution.
