It is interesting (to someone weird like me) that what we expect for 'delete line x...' is not the same as what we expect for 'put empty into line x ...'.

I remember wondering about the same thing when I was learning HyperCard. It makes sense in its own way. Removing a line takes away the whole thing including the carriage return. Putting empty into a line replaces the contents of the line with nothing, but the line has not been removed. The line is still there, just with nothing in it.


Sort of, I think, like zero is a number even though it doesn't contain any amount.

I wonder if there is an similar change in behavior for other non-char chunks.

Aren't all chunks comprised of characters by definition?
