Simple question: How do you split a line at any point and keep both lines (without deleting anything)?

I know I did it before but now I can't figure it out even after looking in the manual.

I know that the TRIM tool deletes a line segment where its intersected by another line... but how do you keep both lines?

Thanks!

Use the "Segment At Location" Tool, same menu bar as "Trim".
Select your line, and then the point where you want to separate the line.

Thanks a bunch! I was looking for the word "split" but this makes more sense.
