Thanks, Charles. Yes, I think that was what I meant.

Thanks especially for the specific help references. I did poke around there trying to see what I could find. The vim documentation is, of course, great, but as a vim novice and non-programmer I often find it difficult to find what I'm looking for. I find the FAQs more helpful.

Thanks also for the reference to Man Page Viewer. I will definitely check it out.

Sincerely,
