When you invoke the SAS/ASSIST module, it creates sample datasets for you in the directory ~/sasuser. If you delete all the files in this directory, it will recreate them the next time you start ASSIST. However, you can delete everything except profile.ssd02 (profile.ssd01 on the RS/6000) and sasparm.ssd02 (sasparm.ssd01 on the RS/6000). You can also save yourself time by executing these commands at your athena% prompt: add consult clear_sample
