Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Delete («delete»)
          Deletes the single character at the cursor, excluding line
          breaks. It does not copy the deleted character to the
          clipboard.
 
          NOTE: The Delete function can delete more than one character,
                depending on the current selection mode.
 
     Arg Delete («arg» «delete»)
          Deletes from the cursor to the end of the line. The deleted
          text is copied to the clipboard. In stream selection mode,
          the deletion includes the line break and joins the current
          line to the next line.
 
     Arg <boxarg> │ <linearg> │ <streamarg> Delete
     («arg» <boxarg> │ <linearg> │ <streamarg> «delete»)
          Deletes the selected text. The text is copied to the
          clipboard.
 
     Meta ... Delete («meta» ... «delete»)
          As above but discards the deleted text. The contents of the
          clipboard are not changed.
          See: _pwbclear
