Quick question: does either of them implement the "g" command (not
suffix), that works like this:

    g/foo/<some vi/vim command>, eg:

     g/foo/r more-foo-stuff.txt/

   (as described in Kernighan's "software tools" book, it
    does it in two passes: first go through
    and "mark" each line that matches /foo/,

    then the 2nd pass: from top to bottom, at
     ever marked line, execute the command --

    the neat thing being that if during an earlier part 
    of that 2nd pass, lines get added or deleted,
     when it gets to a foo-line further down,
    it still works, because the "marks" are
    attached to the lines they're at, and thus
    "move" along with their lines.

Anyway, vi and vim certainly have it, but some
emulators seem to be missing it.

At least if they did have the g feature, I sure
couldn't get it work.

--- THANKS!

Well, maybe it wasn't such a quick question, after all. :-)
