Hello Francois

I still cannot do it. I get the following message after I enter
login/password and job id

JOB DELETION

The R.E.D. Server job with the JOB NAME "P5748" was not deleted.
This likely means the R.E.D. Server JOB NAME provided is not correct, or
you do not have the rights to kill this job.

George
