Brad, I learned vi from O'Reilly's "Learning the vi Editor" that also comes with a pocket reference. I'm not remembering mode names at this point and somebody else has the book so:
I use uppercase 'Y' to select a single line or 'nY' to select multiple (n) lines when in command(?) mode - not edit, anyway. Then I scroll to the insert point and press lowercase 'p'.

However, after just typing the letters DUP, I accidentally hit the enter key and was surprised to see that the previous line above repeated. I have been exclusively using LOAD to copy or repeat lines of code in a program until I noticed the dup thing. What is the best way to copy, repeat a line or duplicate blocks of code in vi editor? Is there documentation somewhere on any editing commands available within vi editor? I know there are other editors and am wondering if it would behoove me to check into some rather than sticking with vi editor. Thanks for any info!
