This question applies to XEDIT and KEDIT. I use both. So it may require
two different replies.

I want to do a change in which I replace a string with a line break
followed by the same string. For example:

   c/<P>/<P>somecode/**

In which "somecode" would insert a line break in the file, so that this:

   <P>Fourscore and seven years ago...

...would become this:

   <P>
   Fourscore and seven years ago...

Simple, huh? But can it be done. I'm sick of using the split command over
and over.
