    If all you are doing is a simple DELETION, I would think that a
    fairly straightforward AREXX program would do the trick.

    The motion format escapes me, but if I remember correctly there is
    one accumuating value that needs to be tweeked, otherwise you could
    do this with a word-processing macro.  Of course, if I misremember,
    a wp-macro will still work.  It'll have to hunt for a starting
    place, and be smart enough to stop too.

    Let us praise Allen for having the foresight to keep these basic
    files in ASCII, where mere mortals can whomp on them, rather than
    going to some more compact, yet impenetrable binary format.
