Re: [ferret_users] clear a line

[Andrew Wittenberg - NOAA Federal <andrew.wittenberg@xxxxxxxx>]

Ferret uses readline, so if you're at the end of the line, then
<Ctrl-u> will clear the line.  Or if you're at the start, then
<Ctrl-k>.

If you're midway through the line, press <End> or <Ctrl-e> to go to
the end of the line, then <Ctrl-u>.
