I'm using Premiere 6.5. I have captured a video clip. I would like to keep the sound from the clip on the hard drive as a sound effect file that I can use in any project. I have no need for the video.

In order to save space on my hard drive, is there a way to save just the sound from the clip (and be able to delete the video clip so I don't have to take up space on my hard drive for video I don't want)?

It's easy. With your clip on the timeline, go to file-export-audio.

Or just right click on the audio or video portion of the clip on the timeline, click 'separate video/audio' and then click on just the video and delete it. You can then do whatever you'd like to the audio.

Stuart-
I take it from your footnote that you are an attorney? What type of law do you practice?

I'm the General Counsel of a multi-billion dollar, global manufacturing company. But that's just my day job until film production and direction pays off.....;-)

Damn... I was hoping that your expertise would be suited to helping us folk with the little hassles we face every day.

Millions of lawyers everywhere, and never the kind you want ;)
