'Nother try, this time with control characters expanded - sorry!!!

This line in your .exrc should work:

map \ lb"xdEPo0^V^D:n! ^["xp"xdd@x
				^^execute buffer x
			    ^^^^remove the new line into buffer x
			 ^^^add the stored word to the new line
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^make new line with ":n! ", no indentation
      ^^^^^^^put the word under the cursor into buffer x

Usage: put the cursor anywhere on the file name, hit \.  You better have
previous changes saved, or they'll be lost.  Add :w
of the macro for automatic writing.

Good luck!
