22 When he was young;
23 But all the tunes
24 That he could play
25 Was "Over the hills
26 And far away."
and you issue the command:
*DELETE 15/LAST
Line-range
*DELETE 15/LAST
EDIT responds with:
RANGE 15/26 CONTAINS 12 LINES. SHALL I DELETE THEM?
If you type Y or y or YES or yes, EDIT deletes lines 15 through 26, prints
these lines as it deletes them, and makes line number 14 the current
line. EDIT takes any other reply to mean NO, does not delete lines 15
through 26, and keeps the current line number the same as it was after
the command previous to this DELETE command.
