DELETE
Deletes an association which was established with the ADD command.
Syntax
[option] DELETE subcommand
DEL
Use the DELETE command to delete an association between unlike entities
established with the ADD command. Only the association is deleted, not
the entities. A complete list of associations that can be deleted is
given below under Subcommands.
The subcommands are used to identify the entity from which an association
is to be deleted. For example, DELETE CLASS deletes an association of an
element to a security class.
