Hi, Maria! Can you send me those same instructions using a BNQT command structure? That sounds really neat! I've been wondering about to-do lists in the Planner and thgis seems reasonable. Thanks.

If you >want to delete a particular sentence, make sure your cursor is at the >beginning of that sentence. Press BACKSPACE with dots 1-4. Instead of being >prompted to cancel an appointment, you'll get the prompt "Delete to end of >sentence? Sure?". Press Y to confirm, and your sentence is deleted.
