Using function PURGE in the stack in Algebraic mode
We start again at subdirectory {HOME MANS INTRO} containing now only
variables

You can use the PURGE command to erase more than one variable by placing
their names in a list in the argument of PURGE. For example, if now we
wanted to purge variables
R
