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)?
