I am working my way through the :help scripting explanation
(usr_41.txt) and I have a question about the :@" command.  I ran the
sample given in the explanation, where the "simple example" is:

        :let i = 1
        :while i < 5
        :  echo "count is" i
        :  let i += 1
        :endwhile

And the expected output is

        count is 1
        count is 2
        count is 3
        count is 4

What I got was

:^I:let i = 1
:^I:while i < 5
:  ^I:  echo "count is" i
count is 1
:  ^I:  let i += 1
:  ^I:endwhile
count is 2
count is 3
count is 4

Obviously, something is causing the commands to be echoed.  I tried
copying the lines into a separate buffer and deleting the colons, but
that didn't fix the problem.  Is there something that should be set
and isn't?
