Yes, not being able to delete a vtp domain name seems like something that
should be able to be done from the command line, but there must be a good
reason for it. I have only played with vtp in our lab rack of gear, never
used it in a real network.

Looking through the archives of this list, I see some have had some bad
experiences with vtp. Something I wish to avoid.

I have put the switch in transparent mode so it will not send/recieve vtp
updates, just in case.

Thanks,
