If you have the "copyline" feature or equivalent (mine is with HP's
Xwindows and hpterm) you can simulate this behavior.  This feature copies
from the mouse position to the end of line, including the <lf> and pastes
this buffer.  In command mode,

	1. type "/" (for search)
	2. position the mouse and press "copyline" (on my system
	   it's mapped to the right mouse button)

A windows-based cut/paste functionality could be used also, but likely adds
up to more than 1 key and 1 boink.
