Read Trigger Question

I would like to confirm something that was just discovered. I have a 
trigger program (RPGILE) attached to a file that executes only when a read 
event occurs. But it appears that a 'DELETE' operation on that file causes 
the trigger to fire. This is not a situation where I read a record then 
issue the 'Delete' operation. This is a 'delete' operation where the key 
is specified. Can anyone confirm this? This particular application has a 
series of program calls, that because of the 'read' trigger being executed 
as a result of a 'delete' operation causes a recursive call. 

Thanks for any input.
