You have lots of answers, all good, but yet one more would be to do exactly as you say: 1. mark "start delete" with md (sets mark d) 2. move to end of text to delete 3. Use the ex command, ":d" to delete the lines, with a range starting at your previous mark like this: :d,.d Or, instead of using an ex command in (3), you could use a motion as suggested before, to delete up to the mark: d'd See :help bookmark for details. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
