thanks.  that's a case i hadn't thought about.  by the way,
why h and not H?

in any event it seems that the case of 4h might do what the
user wants while 22.1h might often not.  in particular, this
result is odd

	upas/nedmail
	: 4h
	4    *   2934   6/01 14:48 quanstro@coraid.com              [9fans] nedmail h doesn't move dot
	:

but then again setting . to 22.1 might be odd, too;
at least it is consistent with commands like "p".
