I have an audio file (wav or mp3 format), which consists of sequences of
useful audio-data - after a few seconds interrupted by about two seconds
of absolute silence.
I could edit the file with AUDACITY manually for to CUT OUT all these
silent seconds.

There's a tool built into Audacity which will do that automatically.
See the effects menu, named something like 'Gap removal'

I note that it's a recent feature - I have it on my Lenny machine at
home, but not here at work where I'm running an older version of
Audacity.

Thanks to all, which have replied,
I found that it is called "TRUNCATE SILENCE" in Audacity's Effect Menu. That did it for me.
