EVE$KEYHELP.HLB  —  Delete Beginning Sentence
  WPS Delete Beginning Sentence

  Erases the beginning of the current sentence or, if you are between
  sentences, erases the previous sentence.

  Steps:

     1.  Put the cursor where you want to erase the sentence
         (see example below).

     2.  Press the WPS Delete Beginning Sentence key (GOLD-F13,
         GOLD-CTRL/J, or GOLD-LINEFEED).

  Usage notes:

  o  Sentence boundaries are a period, question mark, or exclamation point.
     Periods in RUNOFF commands (such as .B or .LE;) or decimal numbers
     (such as 3.14) are treated as sentence boundaries.

  o  Depending on your cursor position, Delete Beginning Sentence erases all
     or part of a sentence, as in the following example:

        There is no road to peace.    Peace is the road.
                                  |   |       |
                                 [1] [2]     [3]
