Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #3678, comment 3

initial	v1
1	1	I see the problem - and I remember why it happens.
2	2
3		There was considerable discussion when the function was rewritten some years ago as to whether this "delete a line" functionality should be retained as it removes the possibility of replacing an existing line with a blank one. If it were retained, the only option to "overwrite" with a blank line was to remove the line completely and then rewrite a new blank one, which required 2 calls to the function. The consensus as I recall was that overwriting a line with a blank was more likely than deleting a line - and so the code was amended, but it not the Help file.

5	5	So the question resurfaces - which of the 2 functionalities is more useful? Or should both be available? I will take a look and see what might be done to do this without overcomplicating either the syntax or the code.
