HI,
theoretically, unless your hard-disk can access UNIVERSE:/VOID and put a
few of its sectors in a black hole I dont think so... ;-)
one way to do this is to go to the end of the line you which to remove,
and byte-by-byte copy the data to the start of the region you which to
remove (remember to use at least 1k-20k buffers though, or it will be
REALLY slow). But I can forecast the use of the /lines refinement as a
hindrance to doing this.
just my two cents
