   1) Go the the start of the text, press and hold shift
   2) Go to the end of the text and release shift (hit ctrl-c to copy or ctrl-x
to cut)
   3) Go the ne location and press either shift-ins or ctrl-v your choice

I would have to check on this but I believe in version 8 it may be alt instead of
ctrl.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
