Yes - thank you. It makes sense.

I think the splitting and/or copying what I want from trimmer will do
the job.

But....the other problem is selecting. I seems as though can't
select a portion of an event on ONLY 1 TRACK.

I select, but it selects ALL TRACKS when highlighting where I want to
split (eg. I just want to split an even on track 3...but when
selcting what I want to split...it will split all tracks at that
point in time).

How do I make selections/highlight on just one tracks event (or a
portion of that event)???

I know it must be something simple, but I'm not seeing it.

thanks,
Joe
