How do you delete a step?

• A. To delete a step, the robot must be at the Command Position. When the robot is at the Command Position, the cursor is not blinking. All line numbers below the deleted address are renumbered accordingly.
• B. Delete from anywhere and nothing changes.
• C. Use CUT to delete.
• D. Delete by closing the program.

Answer: (A)

In this editing environment, a step is a specific line in the program that the robot will execute in order. To delete a step, the target must be the exact line you want to remove, so you place the cursor on that line at the Command Position—the active line indicator. Deleting that line removes that instruction from the sequence, and every subsequent line is renumbered to close the gap, keeping the program’s order intact. This is why targeting the Command Position is essential: it gives the editor a precise reference to know which step to delete. If you try to delete from a different location, nothing changes because the editor isn’t removing the intended line. Using a CUT command or closing the program doesn’t reliably remove the step or update the numbering, which can leave the program in an inconsistent state.
