REMOVE 

Removes a relationship between entities which was established with the
RELATE command.

Syntax 

     [option] REMOVE subcommand 
              REM

Use the REMOVE command to remove the relationship between entities which
was established with the RELATE command.  This command does not purge the
entities themselves but the relationship between the entities.  A
complete list of the relationships that can be removed is given below
under Subcommands.  The subcommand identifies the type of relationship
that is removed.  For example, REMOVE FILE, removes the relationship
between a parent file and a child file.
