just to add something usually overlooked...

  :D  - deletes the text from the cursor until the end of the line (same effect :d$)
  :C  - changes the text from the cursor until the end of the line (same effect as :c$)
  :Y  - copies the current line

 also try replacing the dollar sign with 0 (zero) to reverse the effect into the 
beginning of the line.

ciao!
