Hmmm... block commands are a big strength of joe (Joe's own
editor). Start block with ^KB, end block with ^KK. Blocks
can be copied with ^KC, moved with ^KM and deleted with
^KY. ^KH and "man joe" for more details.

Another solution is mcedit, the editor that comes with the
Midnight Commander. Press PF3 on block start, move to block
end, press PF3, the block will be selected. Press PF8 to
delete it.

And a third suggestion: the (The Hessling Editor), a very
powerful editor, allthough "a bit strange" to learn. If
you already have an ISPF/PDF background, this editor will
be for you.
