OK, solved this one - the function I wanted was "snapping". Next
question: suppose I have a block (i.e a section of a waveform) in the
multitrack window. Is there a way of adjusting the beginning or end of
the block? For example, if the block begins a second later than I
decide I want, can I shift the start point to include the missing
second from the original waveform?

Hope this makes sense.

Sure. Delete the block in multitrack. Go to the original file. Remark the
block with new in and out points and re-insert it in the multitrack. Or,
always put segments of a file into the multi-track with plenty of pad on
each end, then use the envelope to mute what you don't want.
