DELETE

 Deletes the character left of the cursor, or if pending delete is enabled,
 deletes the select range.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor right of the character you want to delete.

    2.  Use the DELETE command or press the DELETE key (<X]).

 o  In insert mode, deletes the character; the rest of the line moves left.
    In overstrike mode, replaces the character with a space; the rest of
    the line does not move.  (See help on the CHANGE MODE command.)

 o  At the start of a line -- regardless of the mode -- deletes only the
    carriage return for the previous line, if any; the current line moves
    up.  This is useful to delete blank lines to form paragraphs for FILL
    commands.

 o  To put back the deleted character, use the RESTORE CHARACTER command.

 o  To delete a select range (pending delete), do the following steps:

       1.  Use the SET PENDING DELETE command.  (The default setting is
           NOPENDING DELETE.)

       2.  Select the text you want to delete.  (See help on SELECT.)

       3.  Use DELETE or press the <X] key.

 o  To reinsert what you deleted, use the RESTORE SELECTION command.
