I often keep an Edit I'm refining in a separate tag line for easy selection.
But the real use was in keeping commands that need chorded parameters, so my
debugger sessions, for example, keep a line of "list print break" etc, so I
can chord in the parameter easily.  That way I don't have to construct the
breakpoint instruction in a scratch window, and I can keep enough of them
around to be useful - one tag line isn't big enough.
