Re: RDi 9.0.1 Split Line

[Sam_L <lennon_s_j@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't comment on 9.0.1, but in prior versions if you split a line the 
part to the right moved to the left column on the newly inserted line. 
If you use column sensitive editing you could not insert leading blanks 
to move the data in the new line to where you wanted it.

So, this change looks like a better approach, though eventually with 
everything free form it may not be all that significant.

Any change on join?

Is it just apples to apples - from one random position to another random position that will more than likely not be where I want it?
