NAME
     remove - delete dataset(s) from file

SYNOPSIS
     remove (-i item) (-a item) (-b item) (-e) (-s) (-n) file

DESCRIPTION
     remove is a program to delete specified datasets from  data-
     base files.  Use the "-i" option to delete the first dataset
     matching a specification.   Use  "-a  item"  to  delete  all
     datasets  matching a specification.  Use "-b item" to remove
     everything but the items  specified.   Thus  "remove  -i  FX
     file"  would  remove  the  last  fx item while "remove -a FX
     file" would remove all fx items.  While "remove -bfx." would
     remove  all  but the first FX item in the file.  If no items
     are specified the program enters a "prompted" mode.

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I         Identify program and exit.

     -iitem     Select first item matching item specification.

     -atype     Select all items matching item specification.

     -btype     Select  all  items  except  those  matching  item
                specification.

     -e         Remove everything from the file except  the  main
                header.

     -s         Delete selected items and  all  subsequent  items
                that have been processed from them.

     -n         Do  not  query  deletion  of   multiple   pattern
                matches.
