Call me a linux user I don't care...  I'm surprised the IDE only
implements 1/2 of the wordstar command set, like ctrl-k-r for read block,
ctrl-y.

I just get used to using those keystrokes in other editors, and having
them not work gets annoying.  Also, the help lists:

  Ctrl+K+V      Moves a selected block

Which neither works, or is how other editors seem to work.

There is ctrl-k-h which shows/hides the selected block, but one thing I
hate is having the block 'deselect' as soon as you move the cursor.

Not as picky as a *nix user :)
