Syntax 

     DEL[ETE] S[COPE] scope-name 
            [;N[EW-]S[COPE] = new-scope-name]
            [;P[ASSWORD] = [password-parameter]]

Parameters 

scope-name            Name of the scope to be deleted.

new-scope-name        Name of the scope that is the owner of all
                      dictionary objects previously owned by the deleted
                      scope.  The current scope is the default new owner
                      scope if you do not specify one.

password-parameter    The password that gives access to the new owner
                      scope.  This password is the same password that was
                      assigned to the new scope when it was created.  If
                      you omit the password or specify the keyword
                      without a value, a blank password is assumed.
