* Look at the help for the 's', or 'substitute' command. This command works similar to 'sed', except it can just work on your selection/range/motion.
-* :<number> goes to line no. <number>, :$ is the end of file.
+* :<number> goes to line no. <number>, :$ is the end of file. Alternatively, gg is the start of the file and G is the end of the file.
+* To read read from stdin invoke Vim like so: 'vim -'. This is very useful to pipe stuff into Vim for later editing
.
