This is a good tip, similar to the FAQ Bob Archer pointed me to:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ignore-commit

Thanks to both of you.

But this doesn't address the problem of needing to remove an item from
version control that's already there without deleting the item from any
working copy.

Again doesn't solve the problem that I just want to leave the working
copy alone.

Thanks,
Chris
