If you move the waypoin nearest you (click it and drag with waypoint tool), then click someplace else, you will erase all the old waypoints and have just the 2 (the one you moved, and the new place you clicked).

Erasing waypoints:

1. Shift+Delete which waypoint tool erases all waypoints.
2. Click to highlight, Del key erases the highlighted waypoint.
3. Left Mouse Click using the eraser tool removes the waypoint under the eraser tool only.

Adding waypoints in the middle of a plot:

1. Highlight the waypoint you wish the added waypoints to come after, hold control, and click the waypoint tool. The added waypoint will be after the previously highlighted waypoint but before the next one.

I find that the fstest way to erase all waypoints is to click on the eraser and then press 'SHIFT' and click on any existing waypoint.

That'll erase all things of a given type I think. I'm always nervous about using that since there's a way to CLEAR ALL TYPES using the eraser and I don't want to do that accidentally. But good to note.

Clearing all waypoints I generally have the WP tool up and hit Shift+Del. Another thing to note is that once you highlight a WP, pressing Del will remove it plus highlight the next WP in the series. Thus it's a simple matter of selecting one WP and pressing (or holding down) Del till they are all removed individually.
