I think the problem may be in the naming. If you want to remove something from some object you would be using Path->Difference. That would remove the part of the bottom object that overlaps with the topmost and also would delete the topmost object (so you may want to create a duplicate first).

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.
