A common use for LotusScript is to control the deletion of documents. 
This code will delete a document and all of its descendants. 
 
The following piece of code can be called from anywhere you have a 
handle to a NotesDocument object. You pass this sub a NotesDocument 
and it will delete that document as well as all descendants.  
 
CODE: 
 
Sub DeleteHierarchy(docToDelete As NotesDocument) 
%REM 
PARAMETERS 
docToDelete - NotesDocument object the represents the NotesDocument 
to be  deleted. 
RETURN 
Nothing is returned. 
%END REM 
  
Dim ndcResponses As NotesDocumentCollection 
Dim docResponse As NotesDocument 
' docNextResponse is a pointer to the next document in the response 
collection. 
' This is needed because the current response is removed before a 
call to  
GetNextDocument can be made. 
Dim docNextResponse As NotesDocument   
  
Set ndcResponses = docToDelete.Responses 
If ndcResponses.Count > 0 Then 
   Set docResponse = ndcResponses.GetFirstDocument 
   Do While Not docResponse Is Nothing 
      Set docNextResponse = ndcResponses.GetNextDocument(docResponse) 
      Call DeleteHierarchy(docResponse) 
      Set docResponse = docNextResponse 
   Loop 
End If 
Call docToDelete.Remove(True) 
  
End Sub
