After doing some experimenting last night, I found that, on a Bluetooth keyboard, with Quick Nav turned off, Shift+Option+UpArrow appears to select all text from the current position to the top. Then pressing backspace will delete that chunk of text. I didn't test this on a huge document, but it's a nice and quick command if one wants to remove the headers in an Email reply.

I agree, iOS does need a more robust set of editing commands. Still, hundreds of lines? That would be one heck of an Email recipient list. :-) If I found myself in the position of needing to do that much editing, I'd use a computer if one was available. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mario Barbuto Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 11:23 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: RE:RE: Questions concerning using email on the iPhone. Yes, Sarah, you are right! But when you have hundreds lines to remove from a text, this way I wish you "good luck!" and "see you tomorrow!". The lack of very usual text editing functions, actually, in my opinion, represents a boring limitation of IOS system and VO screen reader.
