I agree with Tony, and would also suggest browsing the tips wiki:
http://vim.wikia.com . Here you will find all sorts of examples of
varying complexity to give you all sorts of great ideas and
demonstrate concepts that you may not have stumbled across yet. I
learned much of my Vim scripting from hitting "random page" on the
wiki a few times a day, then following up by reading about any new
commands I saw in the help files to learn _exactly_ what was going on.
