Throwing Away Just One Call

If you are pasting calls back and an illegal one is encountered, you may decide that the correct action is to change what is on the clipboard. You can do this by issuing the delete one call from clipboard command. This throws away the offending call and lets you proceed with further editing.

For example, suppose you were writing a sequence in which the formation was diamonds at some point, and the next call was `flip the diamond' followed by other clever stuff. You decide that you want to do something interesting with the diamonds, followed by the flip the diamond and the other stuff. So you cut the `flip the diamond' and all later stuff onto the clipboard. Then you edit from the diamonds. While editing, you get into some wonderful situation in which you have triple boxes, you want to do a `triple box circulate' to get to waves, and then you want to proceed with the rest of the sequence, but without the `flip the diamond'. The diamonds are no longer what you want at that point. So you call the `triple box circulate' and want to paste the calls back. Unfortunately, the first call on the clipboard is `flip the diamond'. Sd refuses to paste it. You can throw it away with the delete one call from clipboard command. The rest of the clipboard is still there, starting with the waves that were originally created by flipping the diamond. You can now paste them.
