          1.  (Or "erase") To make a file
          inaccessible.
       
          Usually this operation only deletes information from the
          tables the file system uses to locate named files; the
          file's contents still exist on disk and can sometimes be
          recovered by scanning the whole disk for strings which are
          known to have been in the file.  Files created subsequently on
          the same disk are quite likely to reuse the same blocks and
          thus overwrite the deleted file's data permanently.
       
          2.  The control character with ASCII code 127.
          Usually entering this character from the keyboard deletes the
          last character typed from the input buffer.  Sadly there is
          great confusion between operating systems and keyboard
          manufacturers as to whether this function should be assigned
          to the delete or backspace key/character.
       
          The choice of code 127 (binary 1111111) is not arbitrary but
          dates back to the use of paper tape for input.  The delete
          key rewound the tape by one character and punched out all
          seven holes, thus obliterating whatever character was there
          before.  The tape reading software ignored any delete
          characters in the input.
