good info dude! I use the following, which works in VIM, and uses's VIM's
internal reformating...
map <C-W> j{gq}
j jump down a line ( setup for the next command)
{ return to top of paragraph
gq reformat
} to end of paraphraph
This version should be faster than the spawning of 'fmt', as well as the
j{ make it so the key (in this case ctrl-W) hit anywhere in a paragraph
will cause that entire paragraph to be reformatted, and then properly
positioned for the next paragraph should you choose to linger on the
ctrl-w key.

! pipe from this line
} to end of paraphaph
and the rest doesn't make much sense to me either. the .&tw I don't
recognize and couldn't make work in my VIM session (though obviously the
intention is clear), and the <Home> and <End> seem out of place. Perhaps
something in the select and paste process screwed that bit up.... ?

the 'gq' version above uses's the same 'tw' setting that the fmt variant uses.
