RDz - Better distinction between Delete and Remove in a MVS Subproject

This RFE is the result of an example of confusion in the use of MVS Subprojects.
PDS'es and PDS-members can be added to a subproject. Developers can work with these items using the subproject.
Once they are ready, the items can be removed from the subproject.
And this is where the confusion appears.
When a member is selected, you have two options in the submenu: Delete and Remove. Even though RDz asks for a confirmation when the Delete is chosen, it happens that developers delete the member even if they do not want that.
the suggestion is to solve this in one of the following ways:
1. Do not show the Delete action in a subproject. If users want to delete a PDS or a member, they should do that from the Remote Systems view.
2. Change the order in which the menu options Delete and Remove are presented when working in a subproject. The Remove should be presented first.
3. Change the description of the menu actions: Delete should be something like: Delete from the host
Remove could be: Remove from subproject only.

I hope this explains the situation clearly.

    We've delivered the following items:

    Part 1 was delivered in RDz version 8 via a host option named DISABLE_DELETE_IN_SUBPROJECT that will disable the Delete menu item in the context menu of z/OS subprojects. Refer to the Host Customization guide for more details.
    Part 2 will be delivered in a future release (v14.0.0.3).
    Part 3 will not be delivered as we believe the text in the resulting dialogs after the options are chosen is sufficient to distinguish the options from one another and prevent the user from making an incorrect choice.
