Thanks for all the suggestions about del*ete = delete/log, except I wasn't
asking for help, I'm not that lame.  This definition affected a user who
had learned just enough about DCL to get himself in trouble.  I thought it
was a humourous example.

Next time I post (if ever) I'll clearly state whether I'm an idiot or not.
There's nothing like getting a dozen mail messages in the morning, half of
which tell you how stupid you are because the problem's so easy.

No more mail, please!
