Thanks. Actually, I'm not 100% sure that vim supports backreferences

All that Will said about the man pages is true, and I completely agree
about the need for examples; I to have wasted hours fighting syntax
errors, all the while with an ugly feeling that I might not even be
trying the right command or option.
General advice based on things I've done:

howtos. It's not as fine granularity as manpages, but will help with a lot of
basic tasks, and has some great forums.
I would also suggest the book Linux in a Nutshell from O'Reilly. This is
