Aren't you forgetting about the "redo" stack?  I hardly ever use copy &
paste for commands (of any kind, either CI or subsys), preferring instead to
use to "redo" feature and modify the command lines.  IMHO, copy and paste is
overkill for something like this.

Of course it is. One of the main reasons I use COPY and PASTE is when I am
programming and have a prefix that is used over and over. It save lots of
coding. If a carriage return were added, this would not work at all.

One of the other things I use COPY and PASTE for is to copy suspect code to
a place that I can test it. That way if there is a typo or logic problem I
can pick it up rather easily.

May I be so bold as to suggest a config box in QCTERM to control this
behavior. That way there is no argument at all. Of course I don't know how
much work I am creating for Wirt, but it would put and end to this thread.
