Again I have read :help visual-mode and :help map as in my other post
about visual-mode I can't figure out how to make it work.

Will some one enlighten me?

vmap x :<c-u>echo "it works!"<cr>

I have no idea what to do with this. I don't understand what it means.

I see you've now replied to Gary with a reasonable description of what you want, but at least the above map describes an instance of using visual mode maps.

vmap   : a visual mode map command
x      : the key being mapped
:<c-u> : clears the command line
echo "it works!" : echoes "it works" to the status line. Your question above _did_ ask "how to make it work".
<cr>   : terminate the command-mode

Use:

select text using ctrl-v & motion (ctrl-q if you're using that misbegotten mswin stuff).
press x

I don't have further time at the moment to look into your request; maybe later on.

Regards,
Chip Campbell
