Hi,
  You can use the lower level "graphics replace" command to delete
a particular graphics command ID with a subsequently added graphics command.
To do this, you have to keep track of the graphics command IDs returned
when you run your 'draw' or 'graphics' commands. The User's Guide
discusses this, although the description could be improved quite a bit.

Cheers,
  John Stone
