I've been using vi ever since Bill Joy finished it,
<<whenever-ago>>, but there are still tricks I don't know.

Thanks for the regex deal for OO. I may have used '\t' and a
space (or '\040'). Been too long ago.
Can you clue me in on how to change inline block papagraphs to
paragraphs with 5-space indents? I've had to do it by hand for
the most part. --There may be a pop-up or dialog that permits
indenting under the Formatting header. I've got a 100 page ppaper
due this year, and while it willl not be tht much of a burden to
by-hand format everything, _isn't that what word-processors are
for_?
