EVE ERASE_LINE — VMS 5.2

 ERASE LINE

 Erases text from the current character to the end of the line.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor where you want to erase the line.

    2.  Use the ERASE LINE command.

 o  The next line (if any) moves up.  The cursor does not move.

 o  At the end of a line, erases only the carriage return; the next line
    moves up.  This is useful to form paragraphs for FILL commands.

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