It should have been deleted.

If you understand how isql scripts work, you'll know that the default is 
SET AUTO ON, which causes each statement to be executed in its own 
transaction.  With SET AUTO OFF, everything (tries to) happen[s] in one 
transaction.  So the transaction effect really depends on that setting.

Since it's not the purpose of the release notes to teach people how to use 
ancient utility programs, but to introduce new/changed features, I think it 
would be inconsistent to include "how-to basics" for isql...

Thanks for the proof-reading, though - much appreciated.
