I found a quick cheat sheet for vi here:

http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/classes/fa97/cse9a/vi.html

On that page it says this about copy and pasting:

MARK BEGINNING OF BLOCK "a"                     ma
COPY BLOCK FROM MARKER "a" TO CURSOR    "ay'a
PASTE BLOCK "a"                                                 "ap
Is this the correct/best way to copy and paste in vi?  (Sorry, Jason Louie,
I can't get at my notes from your prezzy right now.)  :-P  I'm wondering
since it didn't work in PocketViC for the Pocket PC.
If there are any other ways to perform the same operation, please reply.
Maybe one will work where another doesn't on this implementation.

Thanks,
Curtis.
