1 DELTREE

DELTREE is a directory tree deletion utility which deletes from
the bottom of the directory tree out, as apposed to VMS DELETE
which works from the top of the directory tree -- deleting
downward.  VMS DELETE requires executing DELETE as many times as
the longest leg of the directory tree.  DELTREE in one pass will
delete the entire directory tree.  VMS by default does not create
directory files with the delete bit set.  Use SET FILE to change
the protection settings on the directory and files within the
directory tree, otherwise a protection violation will occur when
DELTREE attempts to delete the directory files. 
2 /LOG

  /LOG
  /NOLOG (default)

If the log switch is specified, DELTREE will display a message if
the file was successfully deleted.

2 /CONFIRM

  /CONFIRM
  /NOCONFIRM (default)

If the confirm switch is specified a prompt requesting
confirmation before the delete occurs will be displayed.  The
confirm option mimics VMS DELETE's confirmation prompt, therefore
all of the following are valid answers. 


         TRUE    FALSE       QUIT
         YES     NO          ALL
         1       0           <CONTROL-Z>
                 <RETURN>

Responses may be in any combination of upper and lowercase, and
can be abbreviated.  YES, TRUE, and 1 are positive answers.
Negatives answers are NO, FALSE, 0, and <RETURN>. <CONTROL-Z> or
QUIT will terminate the command immediately.  A response of ALL
will cause the command to continue processing without issuing the
confirmation prompts for the remaining files in the directory tree.
All other input at the confirmation prompt will cause the current 
prompt to be reissued.
