sorry.

Apologies in advance. This should be private mail, but I don't know how
to get to cadovax.

It looks to me like you are writing a vi emulator - something I would give
my right thumb for. I started this before, but the rich ex command set
thwarted me - how do you handle
   :.+5,/Pokey/move?Gumby?-5
for instance. The undo command, with its potential for undoing huge changes,
also seems difficult inside Emacs. If you are successful and willing 
to distribute it when you're done, I'd love a copy. 

Maybe someone else has already done this?

P.S.
Don't BOTHER asking why.
