If Wirt has our private correspondence archived, I pointed out the paste
with implicit <cr> a long time ago.  I use QCTerm for things other than
the HP.  But even in the HP3K sense, we have some semblance
of this feature with the new :REDO functions of '>' (go to end of line)
and then do something.  Most of the cut/paste *without* the <cr> are for
similar things.  We are entering repetitive data varying only in the
suffix.

As a router person, cut/paste is invaluable *without* the <cr> for
setting up things like access lists for things you wish to allow.  These
have repeated instances of:

   access-list 111 permit tcp 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.63 any eq telnet
   access-list 111 permit tcp 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.64 any eq smtp
   (etc)

Allowing certain machines access outside (or inside depending on where
the access list is applied) to various services.  I like to 'copy' the
prefix that is common, and finish out the line manually with the service
I wish to allow.

HP3K examples abound as well, I'm sure, I just can't think of a really
clever one at the moment :-(
