Naw, I think it would actually work pretty well. Perhaps you missed the point that repeating the "insert..." key adds more lines -- the idea being you hit a few times (or hold down repeat -- it's easy to go backwards too, so a slight overshoot is not a problem) until you've inserted a chunk you want to respond to. I think I'll try implementing it and see how I like it... -Miles -- x y Z!
