ERASE CHARACTER
Erases the character that the cursor is on or replaces it with a space,
depending on the mode of the buffer.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor on the character you want to erase.
2. Use the ERASE CHARACTER command.
o In insert mode, erases 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.
o At the end of a line -- regardless of the mode -- erases the carriage
return; the next line (if any) moves up. This is useful to form
paragraphs for FILL commands.
o To put back the erased character, use the RESTORE CHARACTER command.
