CLUSTER DELETE

[ALAN LAPWORTH]

Thanks for the help, I'd managed to get that far before going home 
yesterday.  Just having trouble now with getting back to the menu bar if the 
field is empty.  I cannot seem to force "//" into the field.

We are currently trying to change one of our systems to use menus only and 
eliminate all the MODE ACTION prompts and as many of the built in key 
strokes as possible hence the // problem.

Sorry about the VMS crack it's just all I get here is "You can do it with 
the UNIX version!!!"
