I somehow ended up with a ClrLn command in my Xcode text key bindings, the Delete command.
What is the ClrLn command and how did I get it to appear there? What keystroke combination on the keyboard results in a ClrLn command being issued?

My new flat, wired, full-sized, aluminum-looking keyboard seems to emit a ClrLn when I press the button marked with the word "clear" in the keypad area. It looks like this:
Still not sure what this/"the Delete action" is supposed to do in Xcode though.

It is not clear to me what you are describing. What does “ClrLn” mean? Which delete key are you talking about?
In my Xcode 2.5, the ⌦ key (forward delete; on full keyboards, the one in the 2x3 keypad between the main set of keys and the numeric keypad) is bound to the Action Delete Forward (along with Control-D, shown as ^D).
If you have somehow assigned the key forward delete to something else, just reassign it to Delete Forward and it will be removed from whatever action it is currently assigned. If you want to preserve the ^D binding, click the plus button that is displayed after double-clicking in the actions's Keys column. To exit key-assignment mode, just click on another line the Action/Keys table.
If you are talking about the other delete key (⌫; backwards delete; the one immediately to the right of = on most US keyboards), then that is usually bound to Indent Friendly Delete Backward (in Xcode 2.5).
There are several actions that might be your “ClrLn”: Delete to Beginning of Line, Delete to Beginning of Paragraph, Delete to End of Line, Delete to End of Paragraph. In these line means to the next/previous “soft” line break (wrap due to window width), paragraph means to the next/previous “hard” line break (CR/CRLF/LF sequence in the file). None of these are assigned a key in the default Xcode 2.5 configuration.

ClrLn is the keystroke, Delete is the action. – Clay Bridges – 2011-06-02T18:24:17.427

I am not sure what key stroke combination you used, but you might want to try the Xcode shortcuts located Complete Xcode Keyboard Shortcut List.
You might be able to reproduce.

ClrLn is on that list: for action Delete, press ClrLn – Clay Bridges – 2011-06-02T18:14:00.667
@Peter Please take more care when editing others' posts. The first sentence's grammar seems broken. – Daniel Beck – 2012-01-13T20:35:23.780
which button is "clear" button? – Qian Chen – 2015-12-06T06:19:20.937
On US English keyboards, it has the word "clear" on the key. Cf. updated answer with image above. – Clay Bridges – 2015-12-07T13:39:54.653
