-These routines delete the character under the cursor; all characters to the
-right of the cursor on the same line are moved to the left one position and the
-last character on the line is filled with a blank.
-The cursor position does
-not change (after moving to \fIy\fR, \fIx\fR, if specified).
-(This does not
-imply use of the hardware delete character feature.)
