>Description:
I thought I was always mistyping, but after investigation the vi buffer
don't work the way they used to - like elvis, sunos, svr4 etc.
Cutting into a buffer (like '3d"a') and then trying to bring it back
(like '"ap') gives a "nothing in buffer a" type message.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a file, any file, and try to cut into a buffer and paster back *from*
that buffer. Either in the same file or another.
>Fix:
Sorry, the code it too "far away". I'm at work.
