Delete Deletes a Substring from a String
Delete(var Source : <string>; Start,NumChars : Integer); [TP]
Deletes a substring of Source, starting at location Start and
consisting of NumChars characters.
Source Any string variable.
Start An integer value; starting location in Source for
substring to be deleted; should be in the range
1..Length(Source).
NumChars An integer value; number of characters to be deleted;
should be in the range 1..(1+Length(Source)-Start)
Notes: If Start is not in the range 1..255, a runtime error
17 ($11) is generated.
If Start is greater than the length of the string, no
characters are removed from the string.
