INTEGER FUNCTION EDIT_DELETE_LINES@(E,N)
INTEGER E(24)       ! EDIT_INFO block
INTEGER N           ! No of lines to delete

This function deletes N lines starting at the current position. It returns the number of lines actually deleted, which may be less than N if the end of the buffer is encountered.

Alternatively you can pass the window handle instead of the EDIT_INFO.
