12.1 Marking A Block

Before most block operations can be performed, you must first mark an area of the buffer as a block. This is done with the following two commands:

12.1.1 Block Start [Escape ,]

This command marks the current cursor position as the start of a block.

12.1.2 Block End [Escape .]

This command marks the current cursor position as the end of a block.

Once an ``start'' and ``end'' have be marked, the block will be displayed in reverse video12.1.
