Unfortunately,
x/\n? +/ v/\n/ c/ /
doesn't mean the same thing as
x/ +/ v/^/ c/ /
as long as the selection consists of whole lines, as I posited. I
thought along those paths before sending my first mail. The suggested
command chews up the indentation of the first line, since there is no
\n inside the selection for the x command to match there.
I think there may be no way to express this without a way to match the null
string at the beginning of a line, the current meaning of `^'.
OK,
John.
