After trying several Google searches, it looks like audacity is
the audio editor of choice, but I'm finding it very difficult to
work with.  Notably I am not able to make a selection with finer

I don't understand,... I can select very fine-grained selections in
Audacity. You probably need to zoom in on the track so you can position
the cursor properly, but once you've done so, you can select very
precisely.
Yes, that's what I expected.  But even after zooming in with
the zoom tool to where I see hundreths of a second, I still
cannot select less than a full second at a time.
What I think you're saying is: if you place the cursor at a location
that is, e.g., 1.43 seconds into the clip, right-click then drag (in
either direction) until you've selected the part you want to cut, that
Audacity moves the endpoints of you selection from where you put them
to a whole-second point?

because that's exactly what I've done manay times and it highlights
the part over which I've dragged the cursor, and I can cut it by
simply hitting the DEL key.

Or are you trying to do it in some different way?
I just wonder if this is an artifact from having started with an mp3 rather than a proper wave file?
Just a thought.
i.e. mp3 looses information compared to the 44KHz sample of most wav files, thus when it creates the reconstituted wav file it is not anywhere near the same, and thus probably interpolates much of the wav file.
I've placed a screenshot in my web space at:

http://users.rcn.com/fredricksmith/Screenshot-korngold_01.png

of an Audacity session with a selected region that neither begins nor
ends on a 1-second bounary. With that selected, I could hit the DEL key
and poof! it goes away.

Note that at the bottom of the window it displays the begin and end
points of the selection, so you can see what has been selected.

This is Audacity 1.3.12 Beta from the epel repository. Is that the
one you're using?
