	Thanks for the answers to my previous question about UNIFY
and C++.  Creating a "good old C" function called udelete() that
calls the UNIFY record deletion function called delete() solved
my problem.

	Why does C++ change the name of all local symbols (auto symbols)
to _auN_xxxx where N is the lexical level.  Is there any reason, that
I should not eliminate the section of code that modifies the symbol
name (at lease for non-overloaded local symbols)?  I have tried it
and it seems to work.

	This provides the user with the ability to debug C++ programs
utilizing sdb without having to type strange names for local symbols.

	On the same line, does anyone know of other symbol translations
that I can eliminate to make debugging even easier (such as the
structure / class prefixes for their members of type (__SCREEN_xxxx)!
