If you use the ``ex'' invocation of vi(m), ``20dd'' should do it.

Thankee!  This works for most /patterns, but script
gives me a bizarre err.  This is part of aa javascript cmd
I'm  trying to get rid of.  I've simplified the /pattern to
/script type as below.   Still get the stuff to stderr.  
Any idea what?
