Deleting objects.

You can delete objects from a document by selecting them and then typing the Del or Delete key. The Delete command under the Edit menu has the same effect. Check there are no handles selected on the object. If there are any (selected handles appear in magenta), you'll delete the handles instead of the object.

Note: you can lock objects to protect them from deleting using the Protection dialog box (Format menu/Protect). Check "From Deletion" in this dialog. Then the program will respond with a warning message each time you attempt to delete the object.

Note: to delete objects within a group, you'll have to switch to the Edit Group mode first.
