Aha.  I had been using dd as a delete for a long time, never thought of
it as part of a cut (and keep in a buffer).  The paste one is one I
always forget, heck knows why since they used the letter P.  It is a
rarity that I use it that way, so I don't remember these things.

It's always the obvious things.
