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

[Chris Belle]

Just tried it on a very simple one item short piece of audio and all it 
did was chop off the end of the audio to the length of the time 
selection I set.

So unless I'm just really thick this morning, I don't see how that will 
help.
To me, fit to time means snugging audio down to fit in a smaller or 
larger space.
I haven't tried the stretch one yet,
but the one that loops if necessary just chopped off the end of my audio.
Oh well, it was round about, but I got it to work another way anyhow.
