[Rwp] How to copy and paste time based selection?

[Chris Belle]

This is one area where reaper is totally not intuitive.
I never got it to work with using strictly time selection.
I did get a copy and paste to work using a combination of splitting 
items and then time base as well.
When I did it strictly on time based selection it sort of worked but it 
over-wrote stuff I wanted to push over, even when ripple editing was on.
Sheesh.
