DELETE SENTENCE
DELETE SENTENCE removes all characters (including blanks and blank
lines) from the cursor to the start of the next sentence.
How to Use. First place the cursor in the sentence where you want the
deletion to begin. Then enter DELETE SENTENCE.
What Happens. DELETE SENTENCE deletes characters from the cursor to
the first nonblank character after the sentence stop.
Blank lines following the sentence stop are deleted. Then the remaining
text moves up and is adjusted to the align width, unless the next nonblank
character is in column 1.
If you position the cursor immediately following a sentence stop and delete
a sentence, TEDIT leaves two blanks between this sentence stop and the
start of the next sentence. Otherwise, no blanks will be inserted between
the character preceding the cursor and the start of the next sentence.
Tips. The end of a sentence is defined by one of the sentence stops.
DELETE uses the sentence stop settings of the current profile.
The default sentence stop settings are ! . ?. Use the RECONFIGURE
OPTIONS command to change these settings.
