	pushmark/popmark are sort of hacks .. actually, they only push the
declaration of a block area.  The idea is so you can have macros which use
blocks and then restore what the old block was but it doesn't work right
because if you delete/insert lines the pushed marks get off.  This isn't
going to be fixed in 1.31 , maybe in the version after.

	Manually, simply mark the block, activate the other window, and
BCOPY or BMOVE... assuming you have 1.29 or beyond.
