Re: Reformat macro?

Vern:

Thanks for the clarification.

I think I would still do it with recorded macros to be quick.  Something 
like -  start on the last line home position, cursor up, end, Alt-J, home 
(repeat).....

To split the lines, cursorpos 80, ctrl-left, Alt-S, down, home (repeat).

I don't have a macro that does exactly what you want but Vincent Greene 
wrote a comments macro a while back that has a function for formatting a 
long string of text into comments.  Maybe you could modify it for your 
purpose.  Let me know if you want a copy.

I think the tricky bit will be selecting the text you want to process.  I 
never figured out how to just process text that is highlighted.  Most of my 
macros process the entire file from the starting location or a single line 
at a time.
