Subject: [9fans] sam, shorten dot by 1 line
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 18:37:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOEdRO13vYEwccbjVEyLtvG8UK5ZbxpPXYXuw10Df7N-GctTDw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
having a multiline dot in sam, I wanted to shorten it by one line at
its end. I tried
.,.+0-
which did not work. I had to write
.,.+1-2
or, hopefully equivalently
.,.+-2
While I understand how the latter two ways work, I do not understand
why the first does not.
Can anybody tell me?
Thanks
Ruda
