I did find files there, but they were empty files.  As luck would have it, I
did find the files that I had deleted elsewhere in a backup file, but I
didn't have access to that backup dir at the time that I wrote the initial
email.  It would be good to know how to recover files in case this happens
again.  So the question is:  how to recover files if the files in .Trash are
empty files?
