Delete Character Deletes the character at the current cursor position. Steps: 1. Move the cursor to the character that you want to delete. 2. Press the Delete Character key. In insert mode, the character at the cursor position is deleted; the rest of the line moves left. In overstrike mode, the deleted character is replaced by a space; the rest of the line does not move. At the end of a line, only the carriage return is deleted; the next line (if any) moves up, regardless of the mode. This is useful for deleting blank lines to form paragraphs for fill operations. To reinsert the deleted character, use the Undelete Character key. Command Equivalent: ERASE/TO CHARACTER/FORWARD Related Topics: ERASE CHARACTER ERASE LINE ERASE WORD UNERASE CHARACTER
