I'm still getting used to emacs, and overall i love it. But here are a few commands i loved in vi that i haven't yet discovered emacs analogues for. I will often use 'cw' in vi to change a word (usually a variable name, constant, etc) and then go to another word i want to change as well. In vi i can just use '.' to do this. Is there a similar way to 'change-word' then 'repeat-operation' in emacs, besides search-and-replace'? Jonathon -- Tech support: Try this. Arrange the parts in neat piles.
