Syntax

Description

This command deletes all the selected lines from the current list. This is carried out in memory and has no effect on the lists stored in the data file unless a Prepare for Insert/ Edit command is performed. LIST.$line is unaffected unless it is left at a value beyond the end of the list, in which case it is set to LIST.$linecount.
