Now I have need for an editor with block commands. Put dd on the first line of sequence number you want to start deleting and dd on the last line of the block and hit enter and the block of lines are deleted. OR Put cc on first line and cc on last line of black to copy and enter "I" on line where you want the copied block to be inserted after. Also same for mm meaning move block. Is there any editors with a function like this? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
