Deleting Lines

There are several ways to delete lines from an editor file. To delete a single line, place a pair of parentheses anywhere on the line and press Enter. On the Comet console, the F6 key performs this function.

To delete a range of lines, place a left parenthesis at the beginning of a line and press Enter, and a right parenthesis at the beginning of another line followed by Enter. You will be prompted to make sure you really want to delete the range of lines.

To delete all the lines in a file, use the CLEAR command.

Example:

  (   100 THIS IS THE FIRST LINE TO BE DELETED
      200 THIS IS THE SECOND LINE
      300 THIS IS THE THIRD LINE
  )   400 THIS IS THE LAST LINE
