Well, after some more experimentation, in addition to my other 
Cut/Paste failures, I can't get the Combine Multiple Tracks into 
Single Multitrack function (p.91, PX-7 manual)to work either - this 
appearing to be a variation on the Cut/Paste theme.   When I try 
this, everything appears to be working as it should (as usual), 
complete with the destination track LED lit, but PLAY reveals no 
sound on that track, just like no apparent paste in my other 
attempts.  (I have set the destination track to MultiA.)   The ONLY 
thing I've gotten to work is one Cut/Paste attempt where I pasted one 
measure from one pattern into a completely different pattern.  I'm 
not sure whether to draw a conclusion yet that the problem is 
connected 
with cutting and pasting within the same Song/Pattern, or not --- or 
what that would mean if it were the case.   So, I'm MORE stumped --- 
and I do think I'm following the instructions.  I've tried this with 
RECORD on and off, but I didn't think it was necessary to have RECORD 
on for everything you SAVE.

I tried deleting the STOP from the Song, but that didn't work, so 
I've pretty much given up on the Song Mode for the time being and 
just started trying to get this to work with a Pattern. Thanks, 
though, "61" for the thought; seems like a reasonable possibility.

When I'm trying to cut and paste I'm not doing anything to the 
Presets; I think this may be what dj61 said about just clearing the 
screen back to the Pattern/Song selection screen.  As I said, it 
seems to work OK like that; I just wasn't sure that's how it was  
supposed to be.  Plus I misstated that; actually the button isn't 
flashing, it's just ON, until it returns to the P/S screen, and is 
then OFF.  So that seems alright.

3)I had already checked out the FAQs and Tips before I posted.  
Thanks, though, for putting those up.  Above and beyond the call of 
duty, and a great resource for everyone here.  Once I can get the 
Cut/Paste thing figured out (?), I'll be back there, diggin' around. 
Everytime I look through there something else makes a little more 
sense.

Still hoping someone may know what's happening with the Cut/Paste 
thang.
