I have the following in my nedit.rc file:

         Prefix:Ctrl+0:p:R: {\n\
                 res = string_dialog("Enter prefix: ", "OK")\n\
                 replace_in_selection("^", res, "regex")\n\
         }\n

You pass it to a program that does a find and replace. There are also some  
prewritten UNIX utilities that do things like prefixing and line wrapping.

You are just recording the keystrokes, so as long as you use keystrokes  
that suit your specific needs each time, then you are okay. For example,  
if the column is the first one, then I might record the following: <word>  
+ Down + Home. Then I just repeat that learned set of strokes for each  
line I care about.
