Delete steps from Problem Steps Recorder

Question

I used the PSR to record a sequence which involved scrolling down a list in order to click on English UK as the spell check language in Windows Live Mail.  However the PSR made a multitude of steps for the scrolling action.  It would have been nice to be able to pause the recorder until I got to the language I wanted and then carry on. 

So is it possible to delete some of the steps in the saved file?  Otherwise it would be a fine tool.  Alternatively, joining 2 PDR files would work just as well.

Thanks for any help.
