Perhaps we should relabel MC's "delete working copy" menu item? Many people seem to be unsure what it does.

How about "unregister package"? Or "forget package meta data"?

"delete working copy" might imply that actually code is deleted.

But there is as well 'unload package' and 'revert package'.

Balloon helps would be good.

"unregister package" and "forget package meta data" are somehow not
too clear either.
Is there a registry somewhere?

BTW where is the most recent tutorial on using the Monticello Browser?

In MC1.5, we changed the menu item to "remove package name from
list"

Yes, it is:

MCWorkingCopy allManagers

So, I think "unregister" is a good choice because that word reveals
that it removes the "entry" and not anything else. Just MHO.. :-)
