So I wrote

And it gave me a correct number of abc's for my test text.
I feel like the dumbest person in the world asking this, but what
EXACTLY do you mean by "and then went back"?
Are you using cursor keys? I.e. should I have gotten those to work in
vi in xterm and console? Because I haven't. The moment I try to
cursor back, I'm back to vi mode and the ex-style command mode line at
the bottom is gone.
Yeah, moving the cursor back and pressing enter. On the vi subject,
since I don't have my OpenBSD machine at hand I was testing this on
Debian GNU/Linux with sed --posix, and it has vim instead of vi.
Otherwise, if I try to just type
:!sed s/abc/abc\/g % | grep -c abc
and press enter, I only get the same output I also get out of
:!grep -c abc %
on its own -- which won't count multiple same-line occurrences.

Now it is my turn to feel dumb. I was so focused on the newline-sed
subject that I forgot about that, so I did not put multiple abc's on the
same line :).
On that subject
:! grep -o abc % | wc -l
seems to work for me.
