Yes, I will try to format this output, but it may look messed up.

-rw-r--r--  1 root  field   48328841 Aug 22 07:22 jbundle-6.3R2.2
domestic.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 robertsmj field  51006112 Aug 21 22:56
jinstall-6.3R2.2-domestic-signed.tgz

Basically, before the install robertsmj was the owner and afterwards, the
bundle file was owned by root.  I have confirmed that I can delete these
files only through the shell and su as many of you all have suggested.  

If you all think this permission issue is not standard, I will contact
support.

The act of installing a package shouldn't change the ownership or
permissions of the file.  Can you confirm you are seeing this?  It's
not the behavior I see on my test box.

In other news: you can use "start shell user root" instead
of "start shell ^M su":

    phil at my-box> start shell user root 
    Password:
    root at my-box% 

Thanks,
 Phil
