Key: EDT keypad WPS keypad
----------------------------
COMMA PF4
Steps:
1. Put the cursor on the character you want to erase.
2. Press the Delete Character key (see key list above).
Usage notes:
o Delete 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---Delete Character erases
only the line break (carriage return), making the next line (if any)
move up. This is useful to 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.
