Thank you very, very much Tim. I have been playing with a few
combination of this for about an hour or three, but all the VIM
scripting knowledge that I have is that which has been acquired in
those few hours! I see that I am going down the wrong track.
I have been wandering helplessly through the fine manual. Perhaps you
could suggest what parts of the manual I should be concentrating on
for this endeavour? I did read the help section that you mentioned,
and those around it, but I still cannot get the pattern to even match
at all in a scripted solution!

Right, thanks! I will add them after I get the current matches working.

Actually, "a" does in fact insert into the desired location between
the parentheses.
