I saw that you have a new list and figured I had better get the previous 
ones fixed.
#1 -- fixed.
#2 -- fixed.
#3 -- Now depends on mode. If editing (edit button depressed), the 
selected line will be replaced. If insert mode, the paste buffer will be 
inserted after the current line.
#4 -- If it hurts when you do that, don't do that. :-). I'll take a look 
at that at a future date.

Keep them coming.

Regards,

Ken
