EDT/WPS Delete Character Erases the character that the cursor is on (same as ERASE CHARACTER). 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.
