The functionality of the REMOVE option of SetEnv has been moved to
the new UnSetEnv command.

For example, to set the environment variable foo to "bar", display the
value, and remove the variable:

1.SYS:> setenv foo bar
1.SYS:> echo $foo
bar
1.SYS:> unsetenv foo
1.SYS:> echo $foo
$foo
(indicates environment variable foo is not set)

The documentation is in error by indicating the REMOVE option for SetEnv
and by not documenting UnSetEnv.
