	pushmark/popmark are sort of hacks .. actually, they only push the
declaration of a block area.  The idea is so you can have macros which use
blocks and then restore what the old block was but it doesn't work right
because if you delete/insert lines the pushed marks get off.  This isn't
going to be fixed in 1.31 , maybe in the version after.

	Manually, simply mark the block, activate the other window, and
BCOPY or BMOVE... assuming you have 1.29 or beyond.

	I LOVE IT! CATS AND DOGS!  Can we use that as a universal name to
apply to all of us out here?

You should be.  With jokes like that you're not going to find many
PALs on this network!

Remember all those old science fiction flicks where someone makes a
machine that will blow up the earth if someone starts another war?  I
really hope that nobody invents a virus that blows up software around
the world if someone posts a really bad pun on Usenet.  One of us is
bound to trigger it.

Whoa! If that virus really happens, my next AmigaTrek will instantly
vaporize this and neighboring dimensions.

On a more serious note, anyone know of people looking for Amiga programmers?
I mean, looking to >PAY< for amiga programmers??
