just in case someone uses `vim' or `elvis' (or, for the most part `nvi'):

attached are some settings for your `.exrc' file (which is read by all the
incarnations of vi, I think) which I find useful when editing groff (or
program) source files. I have used commands combined of a backslash plus a
letter such as

\s

but if you use a keyboard with german layout something different, e.g.
`;s', might be better: just substitute all `\' by your choice in `.exrc'.

now, if in command mode, hitting (quickly) subsequently the two keys
`\s' , the current sentence is swapped with the following.

`\w' swaps neighbouring words

`\p' swaps whole groff paragraphs

`\l' moves the last word of the current line to the start of the next line

etc.

and `<CNTRL>-x' reformats the current paragraph with `fmt' (after which
action not all sentences do start on a new line :-))
