The Erase Character command erases the character under the cursor and as many characters as
desired following it up to the end of the line.
Each character erased is replaced by a blank (the ASCII Space character) with character
attributes "off." The cursor does not move when the TCS executes this command.
NOTE
If the NOCHANGE Attribute Mode is set, erased characters are replaced with blanks, but their character
attributes remain unchanged. This makes it easier to erase within a field of attributes.

<Pn> is a numeric parameter, specifying the total number of characters to be erased.
If <Pn> is 0 or omitted, only the character under the cursor is erased.
If <Pn> is n (where n is a number of characters other than zero), the character under the
cursor and n-1 characters following it are erased.

If (<Pn>) exceeds the number of characters remaining on the line to the right of the cursor,
erasure does not continue beyond the end of the line (regardless of the state of the Auto Wrap-
