Dredging up an old topic of mine since I never got this working.

Is there any solution to the asynchronous editor behavior I was seeing?  A
smart-copy macro is pretty useless without a smart-paste macro that works.

I'm not sure how I would use InstallTimeout without that also potentially going
asynchronous on me.
