.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR Delete
removes instances which satisfy the qualification,
.IR qual ,
from the class specified by
.IR instance_variable .
.IR Instance_variable
is either a class name or a variable assigned by
.IR from_list .
.IR qual
from the specified class.
If the qualification is absent, the effect is to delete all instances
in the class. The result is a valid, but empty class.
