They do use chopsticks for glass blowing Daniel san. That's how they
form 'necks'

Sorry - I neglected to add the Text -> Table step - good to see that
non-intuitive vi interface hasn't totally ruined your sense of
exploration.

dunno - but that would be another reason to use Emacs.

I was forced to use vi to edit 4 equal splits of an mbox file that
exceeded 2 Gb I did find a simple way to get to the end of the file to
edit the bottom...hold the page down button and switch the kvm to
another computer...let go of page down key and switch back, wait an hour
and vi would reach the bottom of the file as long as I didn't touch the
keyboard again. Felt like catching flies with chopsticks. I never did
find a vi shortcut for 'go to end of buffer' - How could a text editing
program as mature as vi not have facility to 'go to end of buffer' ?
