Thanks for the tip Benji, just to make the difference between 'I' and
'A' in blockwise visual mode clear to anyone else who might be reading
this and doesn't know, 'I' will always insert in the position
immediately before the selected block, whilst 'A' will always insert in
the position immediately after the selected block and as Benji said,
pressing '$' followed by 'A' whilst in blockwise visual mode will insert
at the end of each line.
Sorry if no-one else cares....:-)

Hi guys,
I knew about the Ctrl-V with I command, but have never used it with A.
So out of interest I just tried it, but it appends at the next point in
front of the cursor, not at the end of the line, as I expected A to act,
I guess this is because you are in some way taking the A command from
visual mode....
First, a slight correction: it appends after the Visual selection.
If you start at the (upper or lower) left and move the cursor right (and
down or up), then this is the same as appending after the cursor. It is
different if you start the Visual selection at the right and move left.
Second, if you want to append at the ends of the lines, use $ (end
of line) while in Blockwise-Visual mode.
