Hi,

 there are several commands like 

           :map

 or

           :version

 which put a lot of valuable informations (at least for a newbie like
 me) into a temporary "something" ("buffer" seems the wrong nameing to
 me here).

 I would like to get the output of those commands into a real buffer
 and become non non-volatile text.

 An very very ugly way is to start

        script typescript

 start the console version of

    vim

 enter 

        :map<cr>
    :q<cr>

 press Ctrl-D to end script and try to re-edit the typescript
 file. But this is *VERY* ugly not only due to the thousands of
 control-codes. 

 Is there any other cleaner and vim-internal way to do this ?
 
 Keep hacking!
