Mutiple delete in lists

According to the Mathematica book 1.8.6 the command:

		Delete[{1,2,3,4,5},2] 


will produce 

		{1,3,4,5}

and:

		Delete[{1,2,3,4,5},{2,3}]]
should produce 

		{1,4,5}
		
but I get the error message:

		Delete::part: Part {2, 3} of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} does not exist.

I am using V. 2.2 on NeXT.

Thanks,
