DELETE {objects} {option value}*

Use commas to delimit more than one object.

Arguments:

  {objects}             One or more objects to delete.
  {option value}*       Zero or more option and value pairs.

  The following {OPTION value} pairs apply to DELETE:

  RECURSE {boolean}     Recursive delete. Default NIL.
  EXPUNGE {boolean}     Destroy deleted objects. Default NIL.

Overview:

The DELETE command marks {objects} as deleted.  A deleted object 
does not appear in score output and is not archived.  However,
it still occupies a position in its container and appears in
listings marked "deleted". Use the UNDELETE command to recover a
deleted object.  To completely eliminate deleted objects use the
EXPUNGE command or option to DELETE.
