ERASE PREVIOUS WORD

 Erases all of the previous word or all of the current word, depending on
 your cursor position.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor right of the word you want to erase -- typically, on
        the space between words.

    2.  Use the ERASE PREVIOUS WORD command.

 Example:

    The following shows the effects of ERASE PREVIOUS WORD with different
    cursor positions on a line:

          What I tell  you three times is true.
          |          | |      |
         (1)         (2)     (3)

    (1)  At the start of a line, erases the carriage return for the
         previous line, if any; the current line moves up.  This is useful
         to form paragraphs for FILL commands.

    (2)  Between words or on the first character of a word, erases the
         previous word -- in this case, erases "tell" and the trailing
         spaces or tabs.

    (3)  In the middle of a word, erases all of that word -- in this case,
         erases "three" and the trailing spaces or tabs -- same as ERASE WORD.

 o  To reinsert what you erased, use the RESTORE WORD command.

 o  In editing a command line, a key defined as ERASE WORD (such as CTRL/J or
    F13) works like ERASE PREVIOUS WORD.  See help on Editing Command Lines.
