Hi All,
	Is it possible to toggle between two positions in VI ?
Let me explain a bit. Say, I am on line 100 and I went to a 
particular line XX, backwards or forwards, can I go back to 
line 100 (after an action/no-action at XX) in one key stroke
(say <ctrl><char> etc., ...) ?

	Is it also possible to goto many different lines
in the file backwards and forwards and still be able to 
go back to line 100. 

Thanks in advance

-- Raja
