In our last episode <384B22BF DOT 37134096 AT a DOT crl DOT com>,
the lovely and talented Weiqi Gao <weiqigao AT a DOT crl DOT com>
broadcast on comp.os.msdos.djgpp:

|Homework: 1.  You typed the following line:
|
|This is f!@#$ stupid,  This is f!@#$ stupod, This is f!@#$ stupid, This
|is f!@#$ stupid,

|And found out that you misspelled the second 'stupid' as 'stupod'.  Now
|the cursor is at the end of the line.  How many key strokes does it take
|to correct the typo?

None, because I am a perfect typist and I never make misteaks.

Okay, I'll bite:

1. shift F2 (search backwards)
2. o 
3. esc (search on o)
4. backspace (rub o)
5. i (insert i)
6. home
7. home
8. down arrow (to end of document)
  (or 6. home, 7. right arrow, 8. down arrow, to return to end
  of second line if that is not the end of document)
