Tips:
• Routes can be edited in many ways, but those steps involve several
other commands that we will discuss only in the Help file's Com-
mand Reference section. You can delete an entire route, delete a
waypoint from a route, insert a waypoint into a route or relocate a
waypoint in a route. To read more about it, see these entries in the
Help file's Command Reference: View Route List, View Route Way-
point List, Edit Route, Edit Route Waypoint, Delete Route, Delete
Route Waypoint, Insert Route and Insert Route Waypoints. But, if
