Subject: Releasing &Variables after use

Hello,
     I've just signed up for this group with the hopes of learning
a little and helping a little.  I've seen a couple of notes fly by
already and felt it was time to get my feet wet.  So here it goes:

     I have a large Nomad application that consists of many small
modules.  The users choose their direction from a main menu which
then calls a start up routine.  This routine then attaches to the
appropriate tables, declares all necessary windows, declares the
&variables and starts the application.  When the user is done with
this module, I clean up the environment by deleting all windows and
purging any programs that are no longer needed.

     The clean up is not complete since I have &variables declared
that are no longer needed.  If the users chooses to run several of
the modules, the number of &variables that are declared gets quite
large.  How can I delete these &variables after they are no longer
needed?  I have looked through the manuals and I have not seen any
reference to this anywhere.
                                         Thanks, Dan
