I was just reading through the FAQ at the general URL list in my OP of
this thread. I saw that section previously mentioned. It looked like
another way to do something that I learned how to do with help from
this list. I was just trying to figure out how to do what the FAQ
says. I could not. I read or attempted to read the help sections it
suggested. Still could not figure it out after messing around with it
so I posted my original question.
My main objective is to read through the entire FAQ, the help docs in
Vim, all the mail that comes on the list and experiment with Vim until
I have learned as much as I can. I don't like working with solutions
that I don't understand. I will put aside a faster solution and come
back to it after I have more experience. Then I usually have better
success figuring it out.
