OK, let's suppose we have a CLD file like (for example) MULTINET.CLD.  Now,
to turn it on, I know to type "SET COMMAND MULTINET."  To turn it off,
I need to read through MULTINET.CLD, and manually (or through a program)
write appropriate SET COMMAND/DELETE lines.  I wouldn't call that simple.
What you'd like is "SET COMMAND/DELETE MULTINET.CLD," but there is no
such command.  Ergo, my suggestion that "there is no SIMPLE way to
un-set..."
