From command mode, the <tt>x</tt> command deletes the character under the
cursor. If you press <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img217.gif"> five times, you'll end up with:
<P><TT> <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img218.gif"> <P></TT>
Now press <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img219.gif">, insert some text, followed by <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img220.gif">:
<P><TT> <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img221.gif"> <P></TT>
<P>
You can delete entire lines using the command <tt>dd</tt> (that is,
press <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img222.gif"> twice in a row). If your cursor is on the second line,
and you type <tt>dd</tt>,
<P><TT> <IMG BORDER=0 ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="img223.gif"> <P></TT>
<P>
To delete the word which the cursor is on, use the <tt>dw</tt> command.
Place the cursor on the word ``good'', and type <tt>dw</tt>.
