Thanks,
I've had a bunch of answers pointing out several methods I had
been too blind to see for myself:
:.,nnd
:.,17d
Try "d120G" to delete up to and including line 120.
d17G .... delete till line 17
:.+1,17d {this looks different in function}
:.,+12d
:.,12d <return>
were only afew of the answers I got. I've only really tried the
d17G
one extensively. I like it pretty well. It also works if you are
on line 32, also!
However, how can I bind it to a key such as K so that
16K works as: d16G
?

I have tried to use some of the map functions suggested in previous articles and can't seem to get them to work. Where can I find more info on map for my .exrc file. I have done a man on vi and some other functions but can't find any reference to map. Thanks in advance, Jerry
