- and click the mouse. To delete a complete line, hold down CONTROL,
- move the pointer to the line and click the mouse.
-
- The line you wish to delete must not be the line that the cursor is

- arrow away from the line and click the mouse. The line will be
- re-drawn as it was prior to the changes.
