If all you want to do is delete a record from the vms mail database,
you can do it with a simple command procedure.  In both VMS V4 and
V5 the primary key is the username.

	$! Procedure to delete MAIL UAF records
	$!
	$ open/read/write/share mailuaf sys$system:vmsmail_profile.data
	$ read/key='p1'/delete/err=not_there mailuaf mail_record
	$not_there:
	$ close mailuaf

	simply call this procedure passing the username as parameter
	P1.

	- Andy
