Re: positional copy blocks

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want but...

Create a new line with JL01. Use copy (c) and overlay (o or oo) like we did
in SEU.
Or
Alt-R at the top left (column 1) and Alt-R at the bottom right (column 5) of
the desired lines (to form a selected rectangle). Right
click->Selected->Fill. On the command line type your mod tag JL01.

You can also map the 'Fill selection' function to a key shortcut if you use it often (as I do). Let me know if you need instructions.

An alternative that may better fit the bill in other block copying scenarios is to use the 'overlay with selection' function. IIRC, this is mapped to Alt-Z. This function will act like the 'o' command that Robert mentioned.
