EVE DELETE — VMS 5.0

 DELETE

 Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.

 o  In INSERT MODE, the rest of the line moves left.  In OVERSTRIKE MODE,
    the deleted character is replaced by a space; the rest of the line does
    not move.

 o  At the start of a line, you delete only the carriage return for the
    previous line, if any -- regardless of the mode.  The current line
    moves up.  This is useful to erase blank lines to form paragraphs for
    FILL.

 o  To put back the deleted character, use RESTORE CHARACTER.

 Keys:  EVE defines the DELETE key (marked <X] on the keyboard).
