I am using gvim 7.3 on Windows 7. I need to select the four x's in the following sample text. I positioned the cursor on the upper left 'x', then typed 'v' to enter visual mode. So far so good, but when I move the cursor to the lower right 'x' I lose the selection. How do I designate the selection area in visual mode?

Do you want xx02ijxx yanked or do you want only xxxx?
Try this:
Do want you are currently doing, then hit y to yank.
:echo @"
To see what you just yanked.
You can also try CTRL-v (or CTRL-q on windows depending on what files you have source) to use BLOCK visual mode and do the same thing.
