lBegin     Low and high word of mp1. Specifies the offset (number of
           characters from the beginning of the text) of the first character
           to delete. If this parameter is set to -1, the current selection
           (if any) is deleted.
 
cch        Low and high word of mp2. Specifies the number of characters to
           delete. This parameter is ignored if the lBegin parameter is set
           to -1.
