Tim, I hate to trouble you further about this, but possibly while it is still reasonably fresh in your mind... The last ":g..." command I listed above is working correctly when there are continuation lines (i.e. at least one "3 CONC" tag following the "2 NOTE" tag, but I think it seems to be skipping by the "2 NOTE" tags which do *not* have a CONC / Continuation tag. I thought the pattern would be allowing for no CONC tags but I'm not seeing what is wrong. At least I *think* that's what I am seeing.
