 ERASE START OF LINE

 Erases text, starting with the character to the left of the cursor, until
 the start of the line.

 o  The cursor and the rest of the line (if any) move left.

 o  If you are already at the start of a line, nothing is erased.

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

 Keys:  EVE defines CTRL/U and CTRL/DELETE as ERASE START OF LINE.  The EDT
        keypad redefines these keys to delete to the start of the line or
        if already at the start, delete the previous line.
