ERASE CHARACTER

  Erases the character that the cursor is on.

  Key:   EDT keypad        WPS keypad        DECwindows func key
         -------------------------------------------------------
         COMMA             PF4               SHIFT/<X]

  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, 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 end of a line---regardless of the mode---ERASE CHARACTER 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 put back the erased character, use RESTORE CHARACTER (with the EDT
     keypad, press GOLD-COMMA), which is also mode-sensitive.
