Research direction

Start at windows-installation-and-configuration-guide/apl-command-line/#command-line and search the documentation for other occurrences of the “-a” argument, including any UNIX guide. Remove its documentation from the IUG, add a note about its removal to the 22.0 release notes, and verify that the 21.0 release notes remain unchanged.

Description

dyalog-v22.0-must rnotes-v22.0 unix-ui-guide

There is no need to announce this in the 21.0 relnotes

-a means "Start in User Mode". We do not believe that anyone is using this, so let's get rid.

Appears in (at least)
windows-installation-and-configuration-guide/apl-command-line/#command-line
could it appear in a UNIX guide ?

A note about the removal should be added to the 22.0 relnotes
