	I deleted some lines for brevity. I ended up with

	map Z "zddmzG"zp'z

	which also lets me get back to where I started from. That way, I can
	take a "chunk" of lines, move it to the end, and continue editing
	where I was.

	Thank you all for the e-mail. I got it all.

	PS: There was mention of using "zddG"zp'' and the '' was supposed to
	put me back. This gave me an error when I tried using it. What did
	I do wrong, if anybody knows?
