                      2: Once in a while you want to add text just before
                      3: a certain line, rather than just after it.  For this purpose
                      4: there is a command 'i' (insert) which is just like 'a'
                      5: except that the new material goes before the addressed line,
                      6: instead of after it.  For example,
                      7:   3i
                      8: is the same as
                      9:   2a
                     10: Try this sequence, which prints the editor buffer before
                     11: and after the insertion, to see what happens.
