Not in 5.0 it doesn't:

*help delete
  Command       Description
  =======       ===========
  delete        Delete volume, pool or job

Arguments:
        volume=<vol-name> pool=<pool-name> jobid=<id>

When at a prompt, entering a period cancels the command.

*

As for the fine manual, all it says is "-n No conio (for scripting)" and
"-n" doesn't seem to do squat.

Anyway, thanks guys, next time I need to delete a bunch of volumes I'll
give the "delete volume yes" a try.
