Syntax: ERASE NEXT CHARACTER Erases the next character. Note that the "next character" is the character on which the cursor is currently positioned. A line terminator or ASCII tab character is considered one character. In either insert or overstrike mode, the remainder of the line moves left one character to close up the space. When the cursor is at the end of a line, the carriage control is erased, and the text from the following line moves up to the right of the text in the current line.
