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.

Subcommands 

Any of the following subcommands can be used with the DELETE command:

CATEGORY                  deletes an element to category association

CLASS                     deletes an element to class association

CLASS-FILE                deletes a file to class association

CLASS-GROUP               deletes a group to class association

FILE                      deletes an element to file association

FILE-LOC                  deletes a file to location association

GROUP                     deletes an element to HP Inform group
                          association

PROCEDURE                 deletes an element to procedure association

PROCEDURE-LOC             deletes a procedure to location association
