Deleting Lines of Text in Pine
DESCRIPTION
It is sometimes desirable to delete entire lines of text. I often wish to
do this when I forward a message and want to delete some of the header
information or part of the message that is of no interest to the person I
am forwarding it to. I also need to delete entire lines at times when I
am composing a message.
PROCEDURE
- In PINE, to delete a full line of text, place the cursor on the line you
wish to delete and press the <CTRL> and "k" keys at the same time.
