DELETE

  Erases the character left of the cursor. If pending delete is enabled,
  erases a selection.

  Key:   EVE default      VT100 keypad
         -----------------------------
         <X]              DELETE

  Steps:

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

     2.  Use DELETE (see key list above).

  Usage notes:

  o  DELETE is sensitive to the mode of the buffer, shown in the status
     line. In insert mode, it erases the character, making text to the right
     move left. In overstrike mode, it replaces the character with a space.
     To change the mode of the buffer, press CTRL/A (see help on CHANGE
     MODE).

  o  At the start of a line---regardless of the mode---DELETE erases only
     the line break (carriage return) for the previous line, if any, making
     the current line move up. This is useful to join paragraphs for FILL.

  o  To put back the erased character, use RESTORE CHARACTER.

  o  If you use SET PENDING DELETE, you can erase a selection as follows:

        1.  Select the text to erase (see help on SELECT or BOX SELECT).
        2.  Use DELETE or type new text (for example, press the space bar).

  o  To put back what you erased with a pending delete, use the RESTORE
     SELECTION or RESTORE BOX SELECTION command.

  o  You cannot repeat the DELETE command or key by using a GOLD-number
     sequence (such as GOLD-5) because DELETE lets you erase and correct the
     repeat count. Instead, to repeat DELETE, use the REPEAT command.
