Get where you need the new line. Press the "Insert" key on your keyboard.

Nope, it's the INSERT key. Definitely one of the weakest parts of an already very weak feature. I think information on how this feature works is in the manual, but good luck trying to find it.

I can't think of any other program that works this way. The INS key is usually used to set the state of overtype mode; it is seldom actually used as an active key that does something.

Jm & Edward! I'm not worthy! ! ! ! I slither, worm-like, in front of your magnificience . . . That is but totally weird! An INS key that puts in a line? Where did the programmers get this from? And what were they s,moking? If I hit the Ins key the .. er . insert comes off .. and I end up "typing-over" what I've type! It is a "negative" function not an ADDINg function . .. i've beenusing the Return/Enter key to put in a line .. . Never even DREAMED that the INS would be doing it too!?!

Nope! Can't make the INS key put in a line .. Can get the Enter key do it ...

My guess: "Insert" = Insert a line. "Delete" = Delete a line

Previous to figuring that out, I would copy the bottom "blank" line and then PASTE it into the proper location. Return/Enter doesn't work in the middle of a scroll.

AH! yes of course .. . Guys? . . I'm going to go to sleep . . second mistake I've done tonight! - CREDIT ROLL .. ahhgghh . .NOT Sample Text formats .. I don't use the Credit Roll anymore. . haven't used it for a long time .. . I now only use the Sample Text and use the "Placement" option to get the Text to roll . .. I found the "Credit Roll" too clumsy .. . Using Sample Text and several tracks gives me loadsa of options . .
