       /CONFIRM
       /NOCONFIRM

    This qualifier controls whether a request is issued before each
    delete operation asking you to indicate whether to delete that
    file. The local sytem prompts you by asking, "Delete filename?
    [N]."

    Issue one of the following responses:

    o  To affirm deleting a specific file: Yes, True, or 1

    o  To prevent deleting a specific file: No, FALSE, 0, or <RET>

    o  To continue deleting without further confirmations: ALL

    o  To stop all deleting: Quit or <CTRL/Z>

    Abbreviations and any combination of upper- and lowercase letters
    are acceptable.

    Default value:   Unconfirmed
