It doesn't explain it very well on the HELP screen, but this is how you do it:
Insert an 'i' as the first letter of the base, for the line you are trying to bump down. If you want more than one blank space, enter 'i#' as the first two characters of the base, where # = the number of new spaces you want.
For example, you want to insert a new line above your third pref which is ATL 777 A. You would input iTL 777 A, and then hit enter. It would bump everything down one line, and leave you a blank space to enter a new preference. If you want 3 new blanks above ATL 777 A, then you would enter i3L 777 A and hit enter.
I don't think it works if you delete all of ATL and just put 'i' or 'i3', etc. You have to overwrite the current base info or you will get the error msg you received.
Good luck
