Deletion are hard to script right, especially when you're trying to  
delete the rows in a selection.  The trouble seems to be that the  
rows are recorded by position in the outline, and once you start  
deleting rows the position information is no longer correct.

I'm afraid I don't have an easy answer or a snippet of code that  
would be very helpful.  You might consider rewriting the script so  
that rather than making a note out of the selected rows it makes a  
note out of the children of the first selected row.  WIth that  
interface, then you could use something like:

delete (every row of theParent)
