4.4  Delete

An entire record segment may be wrong to so dire a point, that it just needs to disappear.  It's easy to make it sleep with the fishes:  you press the Delete button on the upper right of the record segment's title bar.  The computer asks if you're sure about it, and if you say  yes, that record segment is a goner.  But if the record segment has offspring, they have to be dealt with first, either by reassigning them to a new parent record, or by deleting them.  You'll make the right choice; we have confidence in you.

Note:  "Delete" is what you do to a record segment that already exists; on the other hand, "Cancel" is your equivalent action on a record segment that you've just been working on, but that hasn't yet seen you press Save & Close.
