quickest way to remove text between paranthesis ?

[Mikey]

I'll have to dig out my old cdr() and car() functions I wrote for HC
that handle this.  While this is intuitively obvious, the code was a
little convoluted to optimize the behavior for large lists.  cdr and
car are LISP functions that deal with lists (which in LISP are
delimeted by parentheses).  However, this isn't a single-line
solution, unless you want to ignore the code in the functions.
