You have to be in insert mode, so hit "i"       first.              Thanks for that tidbit. That can definitely come in handy! I think I've just       used nano by cutting an entire line with the CTRL-A codes on them (using       CTRL-K), pasting it again (and again, if needbe, using CTRL-U) so I have a       bunch I can change the color codes on. This would definitely make things       easier, though. ;)              Regards,       Nick              ...
