There's a utility on hobbes called SELDEL.CMD which will selectively delete
the applets you no longer need. It might be useful in this sort of setting.
It's especially nice for things like the Terminal applet, which has some 20
DLLs hidden in OS2/APPS/DLL that can be deleted if you don't want to use
it. (SELDEL is a VREXX script, so you'll need that to use it.)
