Summary: How do you "select at least one user ID" when issuing a delsig
         command at the --edit-key prompt?

Hi,

I have read the archives and saw a similar thread about the apparent
impossiblity of removing signatures that sneak onto keys once that
key has been sent to a keyserver. Okay.  Granted.

I want only to remove a signature that I generated with a secondary
key that I'm trying to purge *before* I export the primary key.

How do I delete the the ..A411 key (this example has been obfuscated to
protect the unqualified):
