\subsection{Syntax}
\begin{verse}
{\tt DELete} {\it label} ...\\
{\tt DELete ALL}
\end{verse}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Purpose}

Remove a line, or a group of lines, from the circuit description.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Comments}

To delete a part, by label, enter the label.  (Example `DEL R15'.)
Wildcards `{\tt *}' and `{\tt ?}' are allowed, in which case, all that match
are deleted.

To delete the entire circuit, the entire word {\tt ALL} must be entered.
(Example `DEL ALL'.)

After deleting anything, there is usually no way to get it back, but if a
fault had been applied (see {\tt fault} command) {\tt restore} may have
surprising results.

\subsection{Examples}

\begin{description}

\item[{\tt delete all}] Delete the entire circuit, but save the title.

\item[{\tt del R12}] Delete {\tt R12}.

\item[{\tt del R12 C3}] Delete {\tt R12} and {\tt C3}.

\item[{\tt del R*}] Delete all resistors.  (Also, any models and subcircuits
starting with {\tt R}.)
