                                   DELETING

    There are a number of ways to delete information inside a PC-TYPE+
    file.

                             Deleting a Line (F5)

    The most common form of deletion is by pressing F5 which will delete
    the text line on which the cursor is currently positioned.  If the
    cursor is on the Command Line it will erase the entire Command Line
    contents.

    Move the cursor to the asterisk below and press F5.
    (*) This line will be deleted.

    As you can see, the line is gone.  (Now press Ctrl W, the "Whoops"
    key, to get the line back.)

                              Press the PgDn Key





                        Deleting a paragraph with AltD

    Move the cursor to the M at the beginning of this line and press AltL.
    Now move the cursor to the line below this line and press AltL again.
    Now Press AltD.

    These lines can be recovered by pressing CtrlW (the "Whoops" key),
    three times.  Try it.  However, no more than 10 lines may be recovered
    with the "Whoops" key.





                              Press the PgDn Key


                    Deleting a Sentence with AltD

    Move the cursor to the asterisk (*) and press CtrlL.
    Now move the cursor to the plus sign on the line below and press CtrlL
    again. (+) Now press AltD.

    As you can see, the "sentence" is removed from the text, but the space
    at the end of the first line and at the beginning of the last line
    remains.  You may close these gaps in the paragraph quickly by
    pressing CtrlR with the cursor somewhere inside the paragraph.

    Again, these lines can be recovered by pressing CtrlW (the "Whoops"
    key), three times.  Try it.  However, no more than 10 lines may be
    recovered with the "Whoops" key.



                              Press the PgDn Key


                      Deleting a Blocked Area with AltD

    This form of deletion is very handy.  For example, move the cursor to
    each of the two asterisks on the line below and press CtrlB.
    Delete (*) part of this (*) line.
    Now press AltD.  As you can see the unwanted area was removed and the
    gap closed.  (Press CtrlW to get the line back.)

    Now move the cursor to each of the asterisks below and press CtrlB
    when the cursor is on each asterisk.

    aaaaaaaaa *bbbbbbbbb ccccccccc ddddddd  Then press AltD.  Here the
    aaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb ccccccccc ddddddd  entire block is removed and
    aaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb ccccccccc ddddddd  the lines are shifted left.
    aaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbb* ccccccccc ddddddd  (CtrlW will get back 10 lines)


                              Press the PgDn Key

                          Other Deletion Techniques

    AltE is actually a graphics character Erase function, but in text
    material, it will perform an immediate erasure of part of a line
    without closing the hole.

    Move the cursor to each asterisk below and press AltE when the cursor
    is on top of each asterisk.  CtrlW will get the line back.

    AltE will also remove a column of data in a similar fashion.  Try  * !
    AltE on the Top and Bottom asterisk on the column of asterisks to  * !
    the right.                                                         * !

    Finally, you may blank (*)out a block of information with two AltF's
    at the upper left and lower right corners of a block if the fill
    character is the default space character.  Try this by pressing AltF
    on both the asterisks in this paragraph(*). (CtrlW returns 10 lines.)
