I experienced a funny behavier using the TP50-editor today! I've just
copied 3 lines using: ^K^B, ^K^K and ^K^C. I then moved the cursor
around and suddenly realised that there was a extra BEGIN in the still
marked block. I deleted it and compiled the program. I then got a
compiler error and discovered that the IF-statement before the BEGIN('s)
had disappered. I then remembered that the two BEGIN-statements had the
same indentation - and that's "impossible" in my source-codes!

Does the editor introduce GHOST-lines?

I remember the good old days (TP3) when line 256, 512, 768, 1024, ...
didn't exist according to the line counter on the statusline - but
that was harmless!
