I totaly know what you are talking about here.  The copy and paste 
functions are very easy to mess up.  I don't rely have any good ideas 
off the top of my head but if it could be made a little more straight 
forward that would be great.  

Also i have to say that the paste function would be more usefull for 
me if it did take out the old info, or even better just a screen that 
asks you if you want to paste or mix the data that you are pasting 
before actualy applying the paste.  

peace mike
