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.
