Fred,
	What are you talking about?????  If you can go to 2 lines below
	the bottom of the file with a G command, you found a bug there!
	If two lines below the bottom of the file can be either line 25
	or 26 of a 50 line file you found ANOTHER bug.

	Sit back, take a deep breath and try all this again.
