Thanks, Scott.  I have read the book and none of this answers my basic
quandry.  The Save 21 tape is from 4 or 5 weeks ago.  The first RstUsrPrf
will be from that tape.  Any profile deleted since that time will remain on
the system after I do the RstUsrPrf -again- from the nightly tape, correct?
I believe this to be so since the help for the command says that any
profile existing on the system yet does not exist when a RstUsrPrf *all is
run will remain on the system.

The best solution I see would be to allow an interruption when it gets to
the RstUsrPrf to allow a change to the tape, or to do a total reset of the
user profiles so that subsequently deleted profiles do not remain on the
system.
