That works fine up to a screenful. I can sympathise with Charlie if
he'd like to set a mark and do a few page downs, then yank from the
mark, then paste that somewhere else.

Sadly for me, vi is my only option - can't access our AIX box other
than through a terminal emulator and there's no NFS/Samba shares on
it. At my PPoE, I was able to map straight onto a share and used
Textpad to edit files, which was a lot quicker way to work for me than
using vi.
