 It sure is! In fact there are lots of ways to do it depending on 
 what you want to do. I am editing this in version 2.15 so my 
 instructions will be correct for that version and probably 
 correct for most other 2.xx as well.
 
 When you press the "Esc" key a menu line comes up which has on 
 it a choice for "Block" which contains choices for "Mark Line", 
 Mark Character" and "Mark Kolumn". If you position your cursor 
 to where you want to start the section, pick one, move the 
 cursor to the other end. Text will highlight as the cursor 
 moves. To delete it pick "Delete" from the Block menu. You can 
 move the cursor with the arrow keys, or any other fast way you 
 like (Ctrl Right or Left) to move by words, PgDn/Up to move by 
 screens down/up, etc.
 
 Pressing "F1" (help) brings up a help screen that shows "F6" is 
 mark Line block, "Shift-F6" is mark character block, and 
 "Alt-F6" is mark Kolumn Block. I know (it isn't on the help) 
 that "Ctrl-Y" will delete the marked block
 
 Those of us who are old enough to remember WordStar (a word 
 processor popular 10+ years ago) really appreciate that Qedit 
 (and many other DOS editors ) support Wordstar keys. So I can 
 mark character blocks using "Ctrl-KB" to start a block and 
 "Ctrl-KK" to end it, "Alt-L" to mark a line block and "Ctrl-Y" 
 to delete a block.
