Remove items from a list

[Stan Cook]

I was trying to take a list of files in a directory and remove all but the ".dbf" files.  I used the following to try to remove the items, but they would not remove.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

x = 0
for each in _dbases:
    if each[-4:] <> ".dbf":
            del each            # also tried:   del _dbases[x]
    x = x + 1

I must be doing something wrong, but it acts as though it is....
