Hello, everyone:

I'm a gnu-emacs user, but I'd thought I'd try something different. And so
I taught myself VI. It's pretty neat! But one thing I miss: the equivalent
of an emacs "fill-paragraph" command, which I use quite frequently when I'm
doing a lot of editing and messing my margins up. I don't see any mention
of a VI "fill-paragraph" in the manual; any solution other than to pipe the
doc through nroff (which I won't do, 'cause it's too time consuming)? Is
there a way to build a macro to do this?

Many thanks!
