That's why it's done backwards.  When you delete a line, only the later
lines are affected.

So if you need to delete 3 and 5, deleting 5 moves 6-last down, and 3 is
not affected, and is in the right place for deletion.

Per a recent thread, at *some* length, it may make sense to step through
and copy (repeat for each line) rather than modify the target, as each
deletion causes a recopy from that point on of the target.
