Hi

  Using vi, I want to be able to do the following:-

I need to globally remove all control-H in a file, and also all the
underscores (_) in a file. 

  I used a map to map a "K" like this "map D :1,$ s///g" in my .exrc
file, but then when I try to edit a file which has these control-H,
I am not able to do it.

  I run into this problem when I use "refer" to include references into
a document. Also when I use the correct syntax for refer like this:-
refer -e -l4,2 database filename
I am getting the references included in the file as [BERN89a] etc, when
there is only on BERN reference. It is supposed to include the suffiz
'a' only when there are multiple BERN89's.

Thanks
