;  The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
;  If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
;  establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

;  This example will delete the folder /Documents/ChilkatTest2
