I'm looking for a macro that would delete to a given line
number. For example: You are editing a file, and are on line 5.
You want to delete everything up to line 17.  Now of course, you
can subtract in your head, and use a 12dd. But my view has always
computers are supposed to do those things for me! 

Any suggestion on a "delete to {or delete through} line #" macro?
