OK, I don't see why it took me so long to realise the imposibility
of a solution via ANY editor. That's why I hate these common
'herd' replies of "buy yourself a dingdong like ME and you're fixed'.

I needed to realise the THEORETICAL answer that 
'because gpm pastes-what-it-sees' , if I see a line-break on the 
screen, gpm will paste that.

Also I forgot that this is also a M$ forum, and their pasting isn't
YGWYS.
