Well, here's what you might do. Enter the "find-and-replace" mode. When it
asks "search forward or back", hit F. for forward. Write, as your string, 1.
Replace it with nothing, write A for all. This will remove all of the numbers
with a one at the beginning. This process is slow, because you'll have to do
it with 2 through 9. But, eventually, you'll remove them all.
Hey, Isaac: when you're looking for someone to bear you out, you have to be
aware that things could get downright grizzly, and folks could become
polar-ized! (Some bear puns; can you bear them?) God bless. Bob and Maxy-wax
