  ERASE LINE

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

  Key:   The EDT Delete Line key (PF4) is the same as ERASE LINE. 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 the ERASE LINE command or with the EDT keypad,
         press the Delete Line key (PF4).

  Usage notes:

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

  o  To insert what you erased, use the RESTORE LINE command (with the EDT
     keypad, press GOLD-PF4).
