I hope this isn't too much of a FAQ, but I told someone it was possible to do
paragraph filling in vi and now I can't find my reference to it (I'm an emacs
user myself). Can someone tell me how to fill a paragraph in vi? Specifically,
this person wants to re-fill after editing out chunks of text, not have it
word wrap while entering text. (what I'm looking for is the equivalent of M-q
in emacs). 

Also, if vi can justify text, I'd be interested in learning how to do that as
well.

Thanks for any help!
