Thanks. I seem to be making a habit of tipping as a way of avoiding 
reading excessively flowery papers -)

Ah hah! I knew there would be a 'more standard' way, just had no idea 
how to figure it out. For those of who, like me, didnae know what ctrl-o 
does in insert mode in vim:

CTRL-O          execute one command, return to Insert mode   *i_CTRL-O*

Thanks,
Steve
