The DELETE command is used to delete one or more items from a file.
Format
|
DELETE [DICT] [dict-name ,] filename item-list |
The items specified in the item-list are deleted from the specified file.

CAUTION |
If you attempt to delete a D-pointer you will receive a [236] FILE DEFINITION ITEM ‘x’ NOT DELETED message. |
To remove the Editor from a user’s account, you could delete the Command Definition item from the Master Dictionary. The DELETE command does not prompt you to confirm that you want to delete the item.

>DELETE MD EDIT 'EDIT' DELETED |
If the item-ID is not specified on the command line, the processor will prompt for a list of IDs. DELETE also uses a select-list, if present.
