Can't comment on the cutting/pasting problem....but I'll take a guess at the custom home page problem.

The neoedit software (or whatever they call it for the Marantz version) automatically creates and uses the device overview page as the start page. You cannot change this within the program itself. There are other programs (which you have found) such as neohacker that will allow you to create a custom start page. However, once you create this custom page and save it using neohacker you can't save it using neoedit.

To get the custom page onto the remote itself you must follow this procedure:
1. create the custom page in the hacker program.
2. Save it in the hacker program
3. open it in neoedit (do not hit save)
4. download it to the remote
5. close the file in neoedit WITHOUT saving.
