Same way as in sPatch.  Select the Patch tab, select the add point tool, 
click on one of the points already existing on the line and work from 
there, or the other route is to select the line you want to add the point 
to, using TAB.  Delete the line, add a new point halfway along the line 
and then weld it to the existing points at each end of the old line.

Did that make any sense?

Same way as in sPatch <grin>

Using the move tool, move the point over the point you want to weld it 
to, then, whilst holding down the LMB, click the RMB.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

You might want to know that pressing the 'a' button on the keyboard selects
the 'add point' tool.

Not on my copy it doesn't :)  I reallocated it to the 'insert' key.  

Ahh...  The ability to define your own keymappings, and thus sPatch takes 
another slight knock on the road to being dislodged from my heart <big 
grin>

I suppose I should have made it clearer on the description of welding 
points that it was the move *points* tool that you use, since trying to 
do it with the move camera viewpoint tool is a tad annoying (yes, I got 
confused the first time I played with hamaPatch :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
