Dear Noah, Brian and Jochen, all,

no no, thanks to you all, but this is nothing but "sorry for the
noise", i do not know what happened on Monday evening.
Regarding Noah's

 |You wrote, "You can also not backspace back until you think you surely \
 |reached
 |the start of the line, then RETURN ..."
 |
 |Your assumption here is not correct though. You do not need to navigate
 |yourself "to the beginning of the line". The escape simply has to follow a
 |newline.

This was then on the next day, when i already went down the wrong
path, likely.  Yes, your last sentence is it.

Thanks again to you all.
