Dropping Symbols

A Symbol may be dropped dynamically from the Keyboard or Indirect Command File by the following syntax:-

&&Delete Name
\
&&Drop Name
\

where the keywords ``&&Delete" or ``&&Drop" identify this as a request to drop the specified Symbol. ``Name" is the name of the symbol (which should not have a leading ``\&" character). The Symbol Name must be specified on the same line as the Keyword or the request will be ignored and an error message issued. The keywords may be truncated to ``&&D".
