Yeah, I'm familiar with this -- all my command windows are enabled with 
Quick Edit. =)  The problem is that I can't then edit what I've 
copy-pasted.  I can, of course, copy a few lines, type in an edited 
line, copy a few more lines, type in another edited line, etc., but this 
gets tedious...

Sorry about not being clear about my problem!
