DELETE WORD
DELETE WORD removes all characters, from the cursor to the start of the
next word on the same line.
How to Use. To delete the entire word, first place the cursor at the beginning
of the word. Then enter DELETE WORD.
What Happens. TEDIT shifts text to the left if the deleted word is before the
end of the line; otherwise, the text does not shift. If the word deleted is the
last word on the line, then the line boundary is also deleted.
Tips. A blank or certain characters (called word stops) define the end of a
word. DELETE uses the word stops of the current profile.
The default word stop settings include “ ! : ; , . ( ). Use the RECONFIGURE
OPTIONS command to change these settings.
