    (2) on an attribute name, all attribute columns aside from this one
        are removed from the relation display;
    (3) to the left of a tuple (row), the tuple is removed from the display;
    (4) on an attribute value, all tuples (rows) which do not contain
        the selected attribute value are removed from the current table display;
    (5) on or after the last line in the buffer, the current database is redisplayed;
    (6) anywhere else (except the end of a line), the last command is undone."
