+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+			Lesson 2.1.1: THE NAMED REGISTERS
+
+
+         ** Store two yanked words concurrently and then paste them **
+
+  1. Move the cursor to the line below marked --->
+
+  2. Navigate to any point on the word 'Edward' and type   "ayiw
+
+MNEMONIC: into register(") named (a) (y)ank (i)nner (w)ord
+
+  3. Navigate forward to the word 'cookie' (fk or 2fc or $2b or /co<enter>)
+     and type   "byiw
+
+  4. Navigate to any point on the word 'Vince' and type   ciw<C-r>a<ESC>
+
+MNEMONIC: (c)hange (i)nner (w)ord with <contents of (r)egister> named (a)
+
+  5. Navigate to any point on the word 'cake' and type   ciw<C-r>b<ESC>
+
+--->  a) Edward will henceforth be in charge of the cookie rations
+      b) In this capacity, Vince will have sole cake discretionary powers
+
+NOTE: Delete also works into registers, i.e. "sdiw will delete the word under
+      the cursor into register s.

+
+		     Lesson 2.1.2: THE EXPRESSION REGISTER
+
+
+	     ** Insert the results of calculations on the fly **
+
+  1. Move the cursor to the line below marked --->
+
+  2. Navigate to any point on the supplied number
+
+  3. Type ciw<C-r>=60*60*24<enter>
+
+  4. On the next line, enter insert mode and add today's date with 
+     <C-r>=system('date')<enter>
+
+NOTE: All calls to system are OS dependent, e.g. on Windows use 
+      system('date /t')   or  :r!date /t
+
+---> I have forgotten the exact number of seconds in a day, is it 84600?
+     Today's date is:

+NOTE: the same can be achieved with :pu=system('date')
+      or, with fewer keystrokes :r!date

+
+		      Lesson 2.1.3: THE NUMBERED REGISTERS
+
+
+	** Press  yy and dd to witness their effect on the registers **
+
+  1. Move the cursor to the line below marked --->
+
+  2. yank the zeroth line, then inspect registers with :reg<enter>
+
+  3. delete line 0. with "cdd, then inspect registers
+     (Where do you expect line 0 to be?)
+
+  4. continue deleting each successive line, inspecting :reg as you go
+
+NOTE: You should notice that old full-line deletions move down the list
+      as new full-line deletions are added
+
+  5. Now (p)aste the following registers in order; c, 7, 4, 8, 2. i.e. "7p

+
+
+	           ** Code monkey arithmetic avoidance **
+
+NOTE: a common conundrum when coding is moving around large chunks of code.
+      The following technique helps avoid number line calculations associated
+      with operatins like   "a147d   or   :945,1091d a   or even worse using

+     with   $%
+

+
+  1. To store (yank, delete) text into, and retrieve (paste) from, a total of
+     26 registers (a-z) 
+  2. Yank a whole word from anywhere within a word:   yiw
+  3. Change a whole word from anywhere within a word:   ciw
+  4. Insert text directly from registers in insert mode:   (C-r)a
+
+  5. Insert the results of simple arithmetic operations: (C-r)=60*60<enter>
+     in insert mode
+  6. Insert the results of system calls: (C-r)=system('ls -1')
+     in insert mode
+
+  7. Inspect registers with   :reg
+  8. Learn the final destination of whole line deletions: dd in the numbered
+     registers, i.e. descending from register 1 - 9.  Appreciate that whole
+     line deletions are preserved in the numbered registers longer than any
+     other operation
+  9. Learn the final destination of all yanks in the numbered registers and
