Notes See the discussion at the beginning of the Outline Verbs chapter in the UserTalk Reference Guide regarding the positioning of the bar cursor in Frontier outlines.

This verb is similar to editMenu.clear. The only difference is that this verb always deletes the headline, while editMenu.clear is sensitive to whether or not the headline is in edit mode with a text selection. If so, it deletes the selected text, not

the headline itself.
