   In the old version, if I use the backspace to bring up the 3rd     
   line as in this example..   
      
       aa> akjdkjf akdfa akdf dkj akdjfkaj akjfdkaj   
       aa> akdfkj afjdj  skj dsk kdsjdjk djidij   
       aa> jsdkjs dsk sj   
      
   ..I would get this result:   
      
       aa> akjdkjf akdfa akdf dkj akdjfkaj akjfdkaj   
       aa> akdfkj afjdj  skj dsk kdsjdjk djidij aa> jsdkjs dsk sj   
      
      
   ..then YES, the extra aa> comes along for the ride.   
      
   But I revisited the issue using Golded just now, and YES.. the     
   extra quote prefix gets auto-romoved, AND the line auto adjusts     
   for the right length. That's pretty cool.   
      
   However.. in Winpoint, if I just highlight the original block     
   (the first example in this message) the Reflow takes care of     
   the problem.
