Hi,
Using your example of a boring line I got:
This is a very boring example of a line.
x
Doing y$P I get :
This is a very boring example of a line.s a very boring example of a line.
x
and y$gP I get :
This is a very boring example of a line.s a very boring example of a line.
x
This might be case of the help being slightly ambiguous. I think what
it means is, after the new text *starts*, and not at the end of the
new text. If you see no need for the gP function, you could do
:nmap gP gP$
which would give you the behaviour you expected.

My first line should be:
This is a very boring example of a line.
x
to get the results I described. Strange fonts in gmail, sorry.
