Either I really fumble-fingered the stuff (very possible), or it isn't exactly
the same.  After changing "'t" to "t" I've found that it works.
Perhaps I should change it back to "'t" to see if, indeed, it causes
it to not work the way I need it to.  I don't know. I _do_ know
that with:

all my pasting works the way it should.  I know this:

* I highlighted and pasted into this email (mouse-2)
  (I later cut and pasted-as-quotation)
* I highlighted and clicked button 2 and pasted in emacs
* I highlighted and yanked (Ctl-Y) in emacs

That's what I needed!

Thank you all.  Regards, Bruce
