As quoted from <7036@ttidca.TTI.COM> by kevin@ttidca.TTI.COM (Kevin Carothers):
+---------------
| NOW - My questions:
|  1. This works file on single lines, but simply terribly on entire
|     paragraphs.  Does anyone have macros  (hopefully straightforward ones)
|     to move Multiple lines/blocks from within a macro?   
+---------------

Have you considered using :t ?  Remember, you have all of "ex" available for
use as well as most of "vi".

+---------------
|  2. Does anyone have any ideas on ways to pass parameters to macros? Is there
|     a version of VI that does?
+---------------

I don't think so.
