18 in the NIT Network Information Table to the remote UFT
19 application. It must be enclosed in quotes if it contains

49 the submitter.

51
52 -password, -pw
53 if the -password control argument is present the user will
54 be prompted for a password with a mask. The password may be

57 mandatory. Default

59 STR specifies the remote user identification used by the
60 remote host on whose behalf the delete is to be executed.
