Thanks a lot for the prompt responses. I have tried to first choice (visually select the lines and type ":normal". Works perfectly. Really easy. I also added a visual mapping, which I didn't know they exist (pure ignorance). Also very easy. I am going now to investigate about the operator-pending mappings... Once again, thanks a lot.
