... and I think this is incorrect.
In my discussions with Nicolas on IRC, I got confused at his use of the term "insertion point" for what I'd call in my discussions with people the "cursor".

He then directed me to the manual, and I saw the definition of INSERTION POINT was the "flashing cursor".

This I find REALLY confusing, as:

To demonstrate:
Press the "[" key, then move the cursor to another location, then select "file->Load files.." select some files, and set insertion strategy to "Paste at insertion point".

You'll see the insertion point in this case is not the "flashing cursor" but really, here the definition of "insertion point":

if (in_point_defined)
 insertion_point = in_point;
else
 insertion_point = time-line cursor position;
end

I propose replacing the occurence of "insertion point" throughout the manual with "timeline cursor", or even just "cursor"

I understand there are 3 manual locations, (HV's, SVN's, and wiki). Do other's agree with the change in terminology.
