Option (1) -- This option determines whether ERASE defaults to quiet mode.  
Whatever is chosen here can be toggled with a "Q" option on the command 
line.

Option (2) -- Normally ERASE does not find or erase system files unless the 
S option is used on the command line.  If "YES" is chosen here, all 
matching files, including system files, will be found and erased by 
default.

Option (3) -- If ERASE finds a matching read-only file, it asks before 
doing anything, unless the R option is included on the command line.  
Select "YES" if you want to ERASE read-only files by default.  Since read- 
only files are supposed to be hard to erase, "NO" is highly recommended 
unless you are fully aware of the implications.

Option (4) -- If the command line contains an "all files" file specifica- 
tion (*.*), ERASE will ask "Erase all files?" Answering "YES" here will 
bypass the prompt and ERASE will delete all the files it finds without 
further ado.  A "NO" will help prevent wiping out all the files in a 
directory by mistake.
