Thanks, but:
 :help :redir
 E433: No tags file
 E149: Sorry, no help for :redir

 # yum install vim-common

 :help :redir
 E434: Can't find tag pattern

Found help here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Capture_ex_command_output

Then got:
 E475: Invalid argument: @a

Tried the alternate route in the Comments of the article but ultimately did not 
get the desired result in any discernible form. There was output about line 
counts but that was all. 

Perhaps my shell/vi environment has been cocked up in some obscure way? I 
wouldn't rule that out. 
If not, I believe this has departed significantly from the realm of "easy to 
do". 

Not fun, but much quicker to do several mouse sweeps and copies and pastes from 
the terminal window. Result achieved. Moving on.
