Ahaa. Similar to what one does in a word processor then?

That's pretty much the paradigm.

That not too good for audio editing.

It's actually very good.

I liked the approach
used by ProDisk which took snapshots of the cue marks
inserted on the sequencer screen, keeping a record of each
edit (EDL edit decision list - compatible with professional video editing
systems) so that you could go back to a
particular point to fix something while still keeping the
splices that followed.

Now to let a little secret out of the bag. There are two separate editors in
Cool Edit Pro and sequel software products. One is a destructive editor, and
one is a non-destructive editor that in essence implements EDL editing under
the covers.

A non-destructive editor is generally an EDL editor under the covers, but it
has been found that managing an edit list explicitly is beyond most users.
