 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor on the character you want to erase.

    2.  Use ERASE CHARACTER (see key list above).

 Usage notes:

 o  ERASE CHARACTER depends on the mode of the buffer (shown in the status
    line).  In insert mode, it erases the character, causing text to the
    right to move left.  In overstrike mode, it replaces the character with
    a space.

 o  At the end of a line---regardless of the mode---ERASE CHARACTER 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 put back the erased character, use RESTORE CHARACTER, which is also
    mode-sensitive.
