Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	cut and paste an olcr queue listing into a sendbug emacs buffer.

What's wrong:
	Well, if you look at bugs #6181 you'll see that the first
character of the second line is at the end of the first line, and the
first 2 characters of the third line are on the second line.  I had cut
and pasted the original listing (4 lines worth) as a single block from a
window of the same width!  (*All* my windows are 80 characters wide.)

What should have happened:
	The paste should have looked just like the cut.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
