Well...  I'm in New Mexico (and both the enchiladas and the company I had
on my last trip to Las Cruces were excellent! :) but I agree with Stan on
this one.  :)  Partial line paste should *not* imply a <return>.  And there
should be a way to copy a whole line *without* the <return> (although it
would also be nice to be able to optionally pick up the return
somehow).  It works under Xterm on the fvwm2 window manager I find myself
using lately.  Seems like it should be a snap for a cool product and smart
bunch of folks I know just an afternoon drive down I-25 from here.  ;)
