I'm running FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE.  While trying to delete a file,
ownership is root:wheel, when I type the command to remove the file,  I
am prompted with the following:

    overide r--r----- uappnd, uchg, nodump, arch, schg for filename?

When I click on yes,  I get the following:

    rm:filename:Operation not permitted

How can I delete this file?
