EVE ERASE_LINE — VMS 5.4

 ERASE LINE

 Erases a line, starting with the current character.  The next line (if
 any) moves up.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor where you want to erase text---that is,
        on the first character of the text you want to erase.

    2.  Use ERASE LINE or with the EDT keypad, press the Del L key (PF4).

 Usage notes:

 o  At the end of a line, ERASE LINE erases only the line break (carriage
    return), causing the next line, if any, to move up.  This is useful to
    join paragraphs for FILL.

 o  To insert what you erased, use RESTORE LINE.
