hey Jim!
Actually this is not different from other programs. maybe the naming is, but clipping is actually quite common for that as well. What you want to do is Path->Difference.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply.
So the topmost or clipping object covers the part of object underneath that it to be retained? This seems to be pretty counterintuitive to me, and the opposite of the vector drawing program I've used previously (2D Design). As often as not you would want to remove/clip a small part of an image. The way you describe it, you would need to create a clipping object that surrounds the rest of the image in order for it to be preserved. This would often mean creating an elaborate object just to remove a small part of a line.
Another poster has suggested some tutorials that I'll investigate.
