EVE ERASE_START_OF_LINE — VMS 5.5-2H4

 ERASE START OF LINE

 Erases the current line, starting with the character left of the cursor
 until the start of the line.  If you are already at the start of a line,
 nothing is erased.

 Key:   EVE defines CTRL/U as ERASE START OF LINE.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor to the right of the text you want to erase.

    2.  Use ERASE START OF LINE.

 Usage notes:

 o  At the end of a line (carriage return), ERASE START OF LINE erases the
    text on the line, leaving the cursor at the start of a blank line.

 o  To insert what you erased, use RESTORE LINE.

 o  Setting the EDT keypad redefines CTRL/U as Delete Start Line, which is
    slightly different from the EVE definition.
