You can erase characters in the input area (lines 1-2 on the screen) before
you send them to the program display area. Delete the character to the left
of the cursor on the input line by pressing the

key. A new character
will be inserted to the left of the cursor automatically when you press any
character key. You can move the cursor on the input line by holding down
the
[SHIFT]
key and pressing the left or right cursor keys.
