Abstract
An apparatus including a display for presenting text; a touch sensitive input device configured to enable a user to make a trace input via the display; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to detect a first trace input that starts at a predetermined first location and extends across the touch sensitive input device to a second location wherein the processor is configured such that the detection of the first trace input actuates the deletion of the text presented between the predetermined first location and the second location.
