Can't delete sprites on Scratchv1.1 on Mac OSX Leopard

I just purchased an IMac that is running OSX Leopard.  I downloaded scratch for Mac and whenever I try to right click a sprite to delete, it does not work.  I have made sure that the right mouse click function is setup correctly in the OS.

This is my first Mac.  I have been using Scratch on WindowsXP so I am not sure if there is just a difference in Scratch for Mac.

Most Macs don't have right-buttons on their mice, so the Mac version of scratch uses option-click where the PC version uses right-click.

Try that.

Unless she has a mighty mouse. That has a right-click.

The question is whether the right-click button on the mouse is mapped to mean option-click, which is what Scratch is looking for.
