Well, actually, I *can* do better.  Here it is.  This one will leave  
any text on the same line after the colon intact.  But, it will still  
take out every string of text preceding a colon, on the same line as  
the colon, everywhere in the text.

{ColonDelete::
/&runtimeInit[]
/xEpro f
/xEpro T/xEpro W/xEpro R/xEpro r
:
/xEpro f
/&script$[@@CD2@@]}
{CD2::
/&ifAbort@[$&==0]
/&ifScript@[$&>0,@@CD3@@]}
{CD3::
/p32
/0x1C
/xEpro s 1
/&script$[@@CD4@@]}
{CD4::
/&control[@@bWord@@]
/&script$[@@CD5@@]}
{CD5::
/&script$[@@CD6@@]}
{CD6::
/ex
/&script$[@@ColonDelete@@]}
