the field just past f5 DELETE FORMS, FORM IS.

form name. Press the DELETE FORMS softkey. The DELETE FORMS
screen is then displayed. The screen has spaces for up to 24
forms to be deleted.
6. Type the name of each form you want to delete in the
multicharacter fields, and type an x in the single character field
next to the field for the name. If you need a list of the forms
in the file, press the DISPLAY FORMS softkey. Type an x next to
each form you want to delete.
7. After you have indicated all the forms that you want to delete,
press the DELETE FORMS softkey. This deletes the forms. If you
have more than 24 forms, you can use the NEXT FORMS and PREVIOUS

screen. Use the NEXT FORM NAME and PREVIOUS FORM NAME softkeys to
display other forms in the file. You can also type the name of other
forms over the current name in the FORM NAME: field.

DISPLAY FORM softkey.
