Well, first of all "selectedLine" is a global property, which returns
something like "line 1 of field 2". You would think you can just do:

  delete the selectedLine

-- but you can't. I'm not exactly sure why (perhaps it is resolving the
value of that line of data), but it *does* work if you "do" it, as in:

  do "delete" && the selectedLine
