EVE ERASE_CHARACTER — VMS 5.0

 ERASE CHARACTER

 Erases the character that the cursor is on.

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

 o  At the end of a line, you erase only the carriage return for that line;
    the next line (if any) moves up -- regardless of the mode.  This is
    useful to erase blank lines to form paragraphs for FILL.

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