  Delete

  Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.

  Steps:

     1.  If necessary, set the mode to insert or overstrike, depending on
         which you want to use.  (See help on the CHANGE TEXT_ENTRY_MODE
         command.)

     2.  Press the Delete key.

  In insert mode, the rest of the line moves left.  In overstrike mode,
  the deleted character is replaced by a space; the rest of the line does
  not move.

  At the start of a line, only the carriage return is deleted for the
  previous line, if any, regardless of the mode.  The current line
  moves up.  This is useful for deleting blank lines to form paragraphs for
  fill operations.

  To reinsert the deleted character, use the Undelete Character key.
