Take a look at http://msgs.adsm.org/cgi-bin/get/adsm0303/999.html

Also, go to search.adsm.org and do some other searches like this:

   +verexists +verdeleted +retonly +retextra

That should yield additional posts discussing these options. If you add
+raibeck to the above criteria, you'll find some of my old posts where
facets of these options are discussed in detail.

If none of the above helps, then perhaps it would be useful if you could
explain *your* understanding of the options and what parts you do not
understand.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
