Yeah, I'd tried that, but in the process of stumbling around with 
this, I realized what the problem was with the "Combine Tracks" 
function.  The PX-7 manual says, on p. 90, "This function takes all 
selected tracks (selected by pressing the flashing mute keys [in 
italics in the text]), combines them...".  Being really unfamiliar 
with most of the concepts that the xx-7s are based on, AND TRUSTING 
THE MANUAL, I was following instructions and pressing the flashing 
mute keys.  Of course, this was actually DE-selecting the tracks, so, 
since I was intending to select all of the tracks, I was actually 
selecting NONE of them.  Voila, an activated multi-channel 
track "pasted" with no data. (I humbly accept the "green ass" award, 
for the moment.)  Now, looking back at the Song Cut and Paste 
instructions, I think those may not make any sense either, and it 
looks like they were created by some sloppy and/or erroneous - dare I 
say it - cutting and pasting.  
Anyway, thanks for thinking about my problem.
