Using the character delete keys

Pressing the <Backspace> key once deletes the character just before the cursor and moves the cursor backward one space. Pressing the <Delete> key once deletes the character under the cursor.

Next make sure the editor is in `insert' mode (check the status bar to make sure that the first status character is `I'. If not press Alt-I). Then type in the new word to replace the word deleted. Our `Hello World' program should has now have been transformed to a `Hello stedi' program! Next let's use another procedure to change it back to a `Hello World' program.
