For a long time I have been trying to find a way around an anoying feature of
vi.  What I want to do is to create a macro (with :map) that will copy the
contents of this line onto the end of itself.

This can be done outside a macro with YPJ  Withing a macro, I get the message
"Cannot put inside global/macro".  I'm runnin on a SUN3/60 with SUNOS that
announces itself as "Sun UNX 4.2 Release 3.5" and the version of vi that comes
with it.

Andrew.
