Hi Harvey,

you can do this conveniently with a macro definition.

First type the first line by hand:

a[0]

then start defining a macro by entering

ESC q q

then do the editing work

yyp<ctrl-a>

end your macro definition by entering

q

Now position your cursor where the '*' (dont type this) is:

a[0]
a[1] *

To execute the macro type

<AltGr-q>

. The result is

a[0]
a[1]
a[2]

. If you want to execute it n times preceed AltGr-q by the
number n of executions you want to be executed.

HTH!

Best regards and have a nice weekend!
