Name of the file to be deleted
The file name can be specified with path and file identifier.
Path names must be absolute, that is, start with "/". If the
file name does not contain a domain identifier (_N_), it is
added accordingly. The file identifier ("_" plus 3
characters), e.g., _SPF) is optional. If there is no
identifier, the file name is automatically added _MPF. If
there is no path specified, the file is saved in the current
directory (= directory of selected program). The file name
length can be up to 32 bytes, the path length up to 128 bytes.
Example:
PROTFILE
_N_PROTFILE
_N_PROTFILE_MPF
/_N_MPF_DIR/_N_PROTFILE_MPF/
