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.
