I had posted a list of questions on vi, and Tuomas Lukka pointed out
that question 3 didn't make sense:

>3. Is there a way to prepend or append characters to macros without
>   (a) introducing newlines between the additions, &/or
>   (b) writing to the file and deleting to a named buffer
It should have read as follows (I apologize for the error):

3. Is there a way to prepend or append characters to BUFFERS without
   (a) introducing newlines between additions (yanking to an uppercase
   buffer appends to text already in the buffer, but on a new line) &/or
   (b) writing to the file and deleting to the named buffer (in other
   words, are there ways to put characters in named buffers other than
   yanking/deleting text)?
