Library /sys$common/syshlp/lse$clihelp.hlb ERASE, WORD, Qualifiers, /NEXT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Erases the word following the cursor. When the cursor is
    positioned on a space, LSE erases all the spaces before and after
    the deleted word except one space. If the cursor is at the end of
    a line, the next line is appended to the current line. You cannot
    use the /NEXT qualifier with any other ERASE WORD qualifier.
