Would anybody know how I can get Epoch to move its insertion point
(the cursor) after a mouse paste to the point just after the inserted text?
That would in most cases allow me to type on after an insertion.

Say, I have the following text in my buffer:
	aap noot mies
Now, if I paste the contents of the mouse buffer, say ``jan '', by clicking
the middle mouse button just before ``noot'', Epoch leaves me in the 
following situation:
	aap jan noot mies
	    ^
while I would like it to be:
	aap jan noot mies
	        ^

Thanks in advance,
