That is actually a non-functional page left over from a *way* early version
of Interchange. I am surprised it has stayed there this long....

The way to do it is:

	[userdb function=delete_shipping nickname="EntryName"]

You could do a page pretty easy:

[set page_title]Delete shipping addresses[/set]
[set members_only]1[/set]

@_LEFTONLY_TOP_@

[if session arg]
	[userdb function=delete_shipping nickname="[data session arg]"]
[/if]

[loop list="[userdb function=get_shipping_names show=1]"]
[page @@MV_PAGE@@ [loop-code]]Delete <i>[loop-code]</i> shipping address</A><BR>
[/loop]

@_LEFTONLY_BOTTOM_@

I think the user feedback has become overwhelming that we need to improve the
address handling in the Interchange UserDB. We have a volunteer to do it,
and a good starting point might be the addresses tag provided by Paul
Jordan.
