It may be useful for other cut/paste, but I'm not sure that the 
information has use in this context.  The flags, certainly.  But simply 
by existing while the operation occurs, I think the paste/replace 
problem is solved.

While I'm thinking about it, and not quite related, a "down" command in 
the last line of the document should either move to the end of that 
paragraph, or add a return to the end, create a new paragraph, and move 
to it. I find myself sticking a bunch of periods or hard spaces in 
their own paragraphs at the end while writing, just to avoid this.

hmm, maybe it's not as easy as it looks; possibly similar behavior 
should happen in the last lines of sections under certain circumstances?
