EVE ERASE_LINE — VMS 5.0

 ERASE LINE

 Erases text, starting with the character the cursor is on, until the end
 of the line -- including the carriage return at the end of that line.

 o  The next line (if there is one) moves up.  The cursor 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.  This is useful to erase blank lines
    to form paragraphs for FILL.

 o  To put back what you erased, use RESTORE LINE.
