Lest others be misled, I must respond. ERASE and DEL each result in the
SAME CODE being executed within COMMAND.COM. DEL has worked correctly
for me and many others for many moons now.
I suspect the problem might have had to do with some of DOS memory getting
scribbled on, causing the DEL to work incorrectly. I bet the ERASE command
was tried and worked successfully after something changed -- perhaps reboot.
Was DEL then retried? I wonder.
