Syntax: ERASE NEXT WORD Erases the word following the cursor. When the cursor is positioned on a space, this command erases all the spaces before and after the deleted word except one space. If the cursor is at the end of a line, the next line is appended to the current line. If the cursor is on a word, that word is erased. For more information about the definition of a word, see the ERASE WORD command.
