E492: Not an editor command: ct1Hello

IOW, :ct1Hello is not a valid ex-command

Without the colon, it would mean: remove everything on the same line
until but not including the first digit-one on the right of the cursor,
then replace what was removed with "Hello World" (with capitals, and
without quotes). Not at all what the OP wanted, namely, delete from the
top of the file up to and including the first occurrence of "hello
world" (in lowercase, or in any case if 'ignorecase' is set; and still
without quotes) anywhere in the file, not necessarily on the same line.

Also, please bottom-post next time.

Regards,
Tony.
