Request for vi macros

Sometime back, I requested for vi macros. Thanks to all
the people who sent me helpful mail regarding this.

Summary : You can map the string "bf" to mean a much
longer string as follows.

:map bf \begin{figure}^V^M \end{figure}
or
:ab  bf \begin{figure}^V^M \end{figure} 

Later, when you use "bf" after a white space, vi (your
magic editor) will insert your favorite string for you.
Isn't vi nice?
