       /STATE=(state-name [,...])
       /NOSTATE

    Specifies the names of the states under which the specified key
    definitions are to be deleted. If you specify only one state
    name, you can omit the parentheses. A state name can be any
    appropriate alphanumeric string.

    If you omit the /STATE qualifier of if you use the /NOSTATE
    qualifier, key definitions in the current state are deleted.
