cal in a doc
 From within terminal vim I can issue the command:
!cal
and it will display the current month.
How can I get it placed in the current document?

   :r! cal

which you can read about at

   :help :r!

I suggest, though, that it is more helpful to view it as

    :r !cal

The '!' belongs more to the argument than the :read command itself. A
'!' appended to a command usually means "really do it, even if it's
dangerous". A '!' before a filename usually means "run it, don't just
look in it".

Cheers,

Ben.
