Do you know utility, which inserts new text line in 100 (for example) text
files; 100 text files has the 3-rd line the same.
Interesting for me criteria are:
1. Insert text: "The first example" after 11-th line.
2. Insert text: "The first example" after the text line (the same in 100
files): "For instance: print multiple pages on the sheet".

Would either of these help you?

Something like

Find "this line"

and replace it with

"this line
plus next line"

Specific problems like these are perfectly solvable with some
scripting. Have a look at Python, solve your problem and in the
meantime, learn a powerful scripting language without too much
effort.

The easiest Python system for Windows is available from ActiveState:

Just my 2 cents,

Thanks Tom Mcd. Your links have guided me to the places I was dreaming
about.

Thanks Wald for remembering (me to) Python ... but why not Rebol ?
