Certainly explains it, but I'm sure it will confuse the heck out of some
users.
In testing on Windows, I see that a cell can be active (ie. Have a thick
border), or have focus (ie. The cursor is flashing in it). It seems to
me that we should only paste directly into the cell in the latter case -
in the former, or any other case, the paste goes to the '*' row. Is that
doable? Does it sound sensible to you?

OK, np.
