Good timing, I put this on the web site yesterday :o) MT_RJOB cannot remove an active job, but, it can remove active child jobs belonging to the (inactive) job it is removing. I suspect, therefore, that it calls MT_FRJOB to remove the children. Dickens doesn't mention this and says that 'this trap only removes inactive jobs' referring to the job tree, however, Pennell says that the parent job must be inactive, and if so, then *all* children are removed, active or not.
