- 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)?
