The half backspace function is used to fit a correct word in a line after erasing
a misspelled word that was one character shorter or longer than the correct
word (example: replacing fomulas with formulas or minnor with minor).
Delete the entire misspelled word.
If thg^xleleted word was shorter than the correct word, align the carrier up
with the first letter of the deleted word; if it was longer, align the carrier with
the second letter of the deleted word.
Press [CODE] -i- [BS 1/2] to move the carrier half a space to the left.
Type in the correct word. Because of the half-backspace function, the
corrected word is perfectly centered within the blank space left by the
deleted word.
