Right - all is clear now . . that gives:

:verbose command Execute
Name Args Address Complete Definition
Execute 0 . silent <line1>,<line2>yank z | let @z =
substitute(@z, '\n\s*\\', '', 'g') | @z
Last set from ~/.vimrc

Which now I realise has been put into .vimrc - which I don't remember
doing (it must have been a long time ago) but I should have found it
before . . sorry . .:

command! -bar -range Execute silent <line1>,<line2>yank z | let @z =
substitute(@z, '\n\s*\\', '', 'g') | @z

So I am guessing I can replace "<line1>,<line2>yank" with
"getline(".")[col(".")-1:] z" ?
