If we are cutting multiple pars, the pars are excised from the par list and "buf" in CutAndPaste.C is set to point to them. They are finally deleted when the next operation resets "buf".
Now if we are deleting (!realcut) we don't seem to set buf, and the paragraphs that are removed fall through the floor. Where have I misread ? (1.2 source btw) john -- "That's just kitten-eating wrong." - Richard Henderson
