Re: [Xcircuit-dev] Can I insert a page in the middle of a muli-page document?

The method is:
    1) Create the new page at the end (page 6)
    1) Go to the page directory
    2) Select (middle mouse button) the page you want to move (page 6).
    3) Position the cursor between the pages where you want the page to be
       (between pages 2 and 3).
    4) Type "M" for "move".

Unfortunately, I broke this in version 3.4 by inadvertantly disallowing
selections in the page directory.  I just fixed the error and posted
the revision as xcircuit version 3.4.9.

Maybe one day I'll get around to a more interactive page move command,
and/or a Tcl command to do the equivalent thing.
