  Delete Word

  Deletes text from the current character to the start of the next
  word.

  The Delete Word key removes a word from the current buffer.  You
  can terminate a word by using tabs or characters not specified in the
  /IDENTIFIER_CHARACTERS qualifier on the DEFINE LANGUAGE command.  A
  word can consist of identifier characters and trailing blanks, or it
  can consist of a single nonblank, nonidentifier character.

  Example:

     The following shows the effects of the Delete Word key with four
     different cursor positions on a line:

           LSE stands for  Language-Sensitive Editor.
               |       |  |                          |
              (1)     (2)(3)                        (4)

     (1)  On the first character of a word, deletes all of that word.  In
          this case, deletes "stands" and the trailing spaces.

     (2)  In the middle of a word, deletes to the end of the word.  In this
          case, deletes "or" and the trailing spaces.

     (3)  Between words, deletes the blanks from the cursor to the first
          non-blank character.  In this case, deletes the spaces between "for"
          and "Language-Sensitive".

     (4)  At the end of a line, deletes only the carriage return; the next
          line (if any) moves up.  This is useful for deleting blank lines to
          form paragraphs for fill operations.

  To reinsert what you deleted, use the Undelete Word key.
