Description

Delete_data destroys all of the data in the object and returns the edit cursor to the top of the buffer. The message is used to initialize the contents of an Edit object. This is often done just prior to loading new information into the text buffer. This text may come from a user, a data file, or a sequential file. The delete_data message is sent when the object is destroyed. When the message is received, the change_state of the object is set to false and any block marks are removed.
