  It is mentioned in my version of 4DOS (and 4NT as well).  Version
  7.01.   It is possible that Renato is using an older version that does
  not have the @file ability.

  From my DOC file for 4DOS:

                          DEL
 Purpose:  Erase one file, a group of files, or entire subdirectories.

 Format:   DEL [/A:[[-]rhsad] /E /F /I"text" /N /P /Q /S /T /W /X /Y /Z]
            [@file] file...
                            or
         ERASE [/A:[[-]rhsad] /E /F /I"text" /N /P /Q /S /T /W /X /Y /Z]
            [@file] file...

         file:   The file, subdirectory, or list of files or
                 subdirectories to erase.

         @file:  A text file containing the names of the files or
                 directories to delete, one per line (see @file lists
                 for details).
