Traversing to a "point of beginning" and then deleting those first lines

Hi, I'm new to GIS in general, and there must be a way to do this, but I can't figure it out.

I have to traverse legal descriptions, which usually start at a fixed Township/ Range/ Section corner. They then tell you to go a certain distance from that point, and that ending point is the "point of beginning" for the parcel or lines I'm trying to traverse.

So how do I get it so you can't see those first couple of traverses, or get the traverse to start at that new "point of beginning" created from the first start point?

TIA

These are useful examples to get you going.

You can use connection lines from the commencement point (e.g. section corner) to the POB, then press 'New' to clear the traverse pane, select your parcel lines and close the loop according to the metes and bounds description.
