bb,
You can do the little face by : colon and ) bracket....

Also, if you look to the left of your post area < (that way...your other left see the thing that says smiles legend? Click on that and it will tell you all the keystrokes for the little faces.

Now as far as on board sequencers.....they could leave them off entirely for my tastes....that's what I have Sonar for if I wanted to cut & paste....which I don't and is why I use the AW4416 hard disc recorder, because I'm an old dog too and prefer to have it all laid out in front of me with buttons and sliders to play with.
