[Hen Hanna]

within Vim,  do 
                             :smile

___________________________

To move text-Lines between files --- i do this (below)....   Maybe there's a better (or more standard) way,  but i've been doing this for 30+ years, so i'll prob.  keep doing it.


i have these in my .vimrc file.

                     :ab   qq   q!

                       :ab   wt   w!   ~/temp.vi
                      :ab   rt   r    ~/temp.vi
So i can ..

[1] from one file, do

                :.wt            --  write 1 line to temp file
                :.,.+5 wt     --  write 6 lines to temp file
                :.,'a wt         --  write up to (and including) mark A  to temp file

[2] optionally edit the temp file

[3] from another file, do the following to read (in) the temp file

                  :rt
