%DELETE_SST: Delete event SST (Start/Stop Times) between t1 and t2
%
%USAGE: sub_sst = delete_sst(sst,t1,t2,edge_mode)
%
%INPUTS: sst - Event Start/Stop Times [Nx2 array of numeric time values]
%        t1  - time value, delete all events in sst between t1 (start) 
%              and t2 (end)
%        t2  - see 't1'
%        edge_mode  - If t1 or t2 falls between an event start time and 
%                stop time in sst, edge_mode determines if the event is 
%                deleted, retained, or partially deleted at time t1 or t2.
%           'delete' - whole event is removed from array sub_sst
%           'keep'   - whole event is retained in array sub_sst
%           'part'   - event in sub_sst is split - i.e. deleted 
%                       before t1 or after t2
%
%OUTPUTS: sub_sst - Subset of origianl sst (Event Start/Stop Times) 
%                   [Nx2 array of numeric time values]
