 DELETE SEXP

 Function
  Delete the filename specified by SEXP from the disk it resides on.

 Syntax
  DELETE file

   file  - A string expression with the drive, path and file name to
           delete.

 Remarks
  It is always a good idea to leave things as you found them (as much as
  possible).  This statement allows you to delete temporary files created
  by your PPE with the FCREATE/FOPEN/FAPPEND statements.

 Examples
  INTEGER retcode
  STRING  s
  FCREATE 1,"TMP.LST",O_WR,S_DB
  LET s = "START"
  WHILE (LEN(s) > 0) DO
   LET s = ""
   PRINTLN "Enter a name or ENTER alone to quit:"
   INPUT "Name",s
   IF (LEN(s) > 0) FPUTLN 1,s
  ENDWHILE
  FCLOSE 1
  SHELL 1,retcode,"SORT","< TMP.LST > TMP.SRT"
  NEWLINE
  PRINTLN "Unsorted List:"
  PRINTLN "--------------"
  DISPFILE "TMP.LST",DEFS
  NEWLINE
  PRINTLN "Sorted List:"
  PRINTLN "--------------"
  DISPFILE "TMP.SRT",DEFS
  DELETE "TMP.LST"
  DELETE "TMP.SRT"
