Deleting text label from selected object

Carona

I was browsing around the forums looking for a simple solution, and I discovered this 

txtLp = car(setof(lp cv~>lpps lp~>layerName=="text" && lp~>purpose=="drawing")) ;; get the text layer purpose database object
mapcar('dbDeleteObject txtLp~>shapes) ;; delete all labels and textDisplays

However this deletes all text from a virtuoso active window. I was hoping to modify this to only delete a text label from the selected object.

I can go into further detail as to why I would like that feature, but basically I want to perform a transformation on a shape and then add a label to the center of the shape.

So, I want to first delete an existing label, then create a new one.  I have the create a new label portion of code that works well.

This solution works with one shape, but if there are multiple shapes, every time I select a new shape to modify, its text label will be removed from the other shapes.

Thanks for your help
