ERASE START OF LINE
Erases the current line, starting with the character left of the cursor
until the start of the line. If you are already at the start of a line,
nothing is erased.
Key: EVE defines CTRL/U as ERASE START OF LINE.
Steps:
1. Put the cursor to the right of the text you want to erase.
2. Use the ERASE START OF LINE command.
Usage notes:
o At the end of a line (carriage return), ERASE START OF LINE erases the
text on the line, leaving the cursor at the start of a blank line.
o To insert what you erased, use the RESTORE LINE command.
o You can also use CTRL/U (or other key defined as ERASE START OF LINE)
to discard a command you recalled. See help on Editing Command Lines.
o Setting the EDT keypad redefines CTRL/U as Delete Start Line, which is
slightly different from the EVE definition.
