Take care with this last part.  I did the following:
 
  :BUILD OLDFILE;REC=-80,,F,ASCII
  :LN.HPBIN.SYS "-s ./OLDFILE ./NEWFILE"
  :LISTF ???FILE,2
  ACCOUNT=  TELAMON     GROUP=  RANDY
 
  FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                    SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
 
  NEWFILE             1B  BAL          9       1024   1       16  1  *
  OLDFILE            80B  FA           0       1023   3        0  0  *
 
  :PURGE NEWFILE
  :LISTF ???FILE,2
  ACCOUNT=  TELAMON     GROUP=  RANDY
 
  FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                    SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX
 
  NEWFILE             1B  BAL          9       1024   1       16  1  *
 
  :LS.HPBIN.SYS "-l ./NEWFILE"
  lrwxrwxrwx   1 MANAGER.SYS TELAMON 9 May 23 13:43 ./NEWFILE -> ./OLDFILE
  :
 
Notice that the PURGE deleted _OLDFILE_, not NEWFILE, although the
link of NEWFILE -> OLDFILE still remained.  If you build a link using
LN.HPBIN.SYS, you'll have to get rid of it using RM.HPBIN.SYS, _not_
PURGE.
