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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Emacscdel («emacscdel»)
 
     Deletes the previous character. If the cursor is in column 1,
     Emacscdel moves the cursor to the end of the previous line.
 
     In insert mode, Emacscdel deletes the previous character, reducing
     the length of the line by 1. If the cursor is in column one,
     Emacscdel deletes the line break, joining the current line to the
     previous line.
 
     In overtype mode, Emacscdel deletes the previous character and
     replaces it with a space character. If the cursor is in column 1,
     Emacscdel moves the cursor to the end of the previous line and
     does not delete the line break.
 
     Emacscdel is similar to Cdelete, but Cdelete never deletes line
     breaks; in overtype mode beyond the end of the line, Cdelete
     automatically moves to the end of the line.
     See: Cdelete
 
     Returns
 
     True:  Cursor moved.
     False: Cursor not moved.
