Thanks Rob,

I am not good in using vi but I find it easier than nano. And I tend to
make less mistake with vi than nano.

In vi I use 10yy and then p to copy and paste 10 lines. And I use 10dd
to delete 10 lines and press u to undo that if I mistakenly deleted the
wrong lines. What are the equivalent commands for that in nano?

Cheers,
