ERASE WORD
Erases all of the word that the cursor is on or all of the next word.
For example, if you are editing the following line:
What I tell you three times is true.
| | | |
[1] [2] [3]
[1] If you are on a word, erases all of that word -- in this case,
"tell" and the trailing spaces.
[2] Between words, erases the next word -- in this case, "times" and
the trailing spaces.
[3] At the end of a line, erases 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.
To put back what you erased, use RESTORE WORD.
Keys: EVE defines F13 and CTRL/J as ERASE WORD. The VT100 keypad defines
CTRL/J and COMMA (on the keypad).
