	This can be done with 'Edit' (you know, that useless program that's
usually the first thing you delete out of your C: directory for space).

	What's more, I think this Edit command will do it for you:

	GE B/X//

	Which means, "Global Exchange at Beginning of line, substitute for
'X', '' (i.e. nothing)."

	This will probably also work:

	0(E B/X//;N)

	NOTE:  I have not actually tried these.  Caveat User.
