I have to admit, I've never seen that error before! You could try
UNDEFINE, from the Coyote Library.

Cheers,

> Active main program terminated by call to DELVAR.

I have tried using delvar before... It terminates the program, sort of like an "end". From the online help:

"If a main program is created with the .RUN or .RNEW command, then each time DELVAR is called, this main program is erased."

I now use it when I am messing around at the command line and want to get rid of all the junk I created.
