    Tom,
    As Desmond has indicated you must use the selector in the
    advanced editing view to set an ACE of modify so that it
    applies to Files Only.
    All of the security bits have meaning that can differ slightly
    depending on whether an object (file) or container (folder)
    is being considered. That is why you find that the same
    checkbox is titled such as Delete Subfolders and Files
    and it will have that effect as long as the ACE is set to
    Apply to Subfolders and files or This folder, subfolders,
    and files. If you need only the file interpretation then you
    must set it so that it does not apply to folders.
