Okay. That's not always the case with my version of vim, when I go
back and do editing in the middle of a line/paragraph.

posting program, newspost which is a command line program that calls
my EDITOR, vim in my case, for doing the text preface file. I tried
to use F5 in that and it did not do anything. I was able to use upper
case Q <enter>

Look at the macro. It works when the file it's editing is named
.article or .followup (new post or reply). The other program isn't
going to be passing those filenames along to vim, so the macro isn't
going to activage. IOW, it's doing just what it's supposed to do --
only be mapped to F5 when being used within slrn.

I would like to use this macro for that because newspost does not
offer any auto-wrapping feature like slrn does with vim, any idea of
how to make it work?

Nope.

Okay so, the other program does use a common filename structure, but then
there are always 6 random characters. You think that the editor group could

Saw that. :(

help me figure how to incorporate 6 wildcards into this macro?

I dunno if that's possible, but if it is and they feel like it, they
probably can help. What you're more likely to get is a different
approach/macro.
