Until users encounter that composability of using ":g" to issue commands on matching lines, along with the ability to enter a relative line or range from that match before your final Ex command(s), it's pretty obscure. However, as soon as you understand the power of it, it's a concept that's hard to forget, so I use it quite regularly. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
