Deleting a program block:
There are two ways to delete program blocks from a Program Listing.  
The following provide the steps necessary to delete a block, or blocks.
In Edit Mode, place the cursor at the beginning of the 
first block to be deleted.  Touch the Delete Block 
button to delete one block at a time.
The Cut button can also be used.
Touch the Edit Features button to access the next 
menu.
Touch the Cut button to remove the block, or blocks 
selected and place them on the clipboard.
If removing more than one block at a time is desired, 
first use one of the Mark methods described in “Mark 
a program block”. Highlight multiple blocks, then 
press the Cut button to remove them.
Inserting a program block:
Inserting a program block (or blocks) in an existing program is typically 
done by adding a feature at the correct location in the program.
Place the cursor where a new block is to be  inserted.
Add the feature that is required at that location. See "Conversational 
Data Input Cycles" on page 103 
which provides a list of features 
available.
