Thanks, I found that already, and it is a good one. But it didn't help me solve my problem about cursor motions.
Maybe my question is wrong - maybe I should just use line ranges in commands, for example for the first line: :1,1s/foo/bar/g and for the last line: :$,$s/foo/bar/g
I thought the point of using vim instead of something more appropriate for scripting was that you already knew how to use it. Why not do: vim -W script testfile and go through the motions you know (which can include 1G to go to the 1st line and G to go to the last). Then run vim -s script realfile to do the same actions again.
