Use your editor!  NN dumps you in the editor for a reason, so use it!

Depends on the editor.  vi doesn't seem to allow it, which is why I switched
to joe.

Do you mean ":r filename<return>" in your vi doesn't insert a file
where the cursor is?

Surely you jest.

I've gotten more mail on this subject than I can stand.  I hereby announce
that I'm sorry, I'll go and get better documentation (my book makes NO mention
of ":r filename"), and next time someone asks for help I'll just shut up
instead of offering what I can.  OK?

Christ.  It'd be nice if half the people who jumped on me for this one
could've responded to the original poster.
