Changing
--------

   Some commands which change a small number of characters are executed
slightly differently.  Thus, if point is at the beginning of a word
`foo' and you wished to change it to `bar' by typing `c w', then VIP
will prompt you for a new word in the minibuffer by the prompt `foo =>
'.  You can then enter `bar' followed by <RET> or <ESC> to complete the
command.  Before you enter <RET> or <ESC> you can abort the command by
typing `C-g'.  In general, you can abort a partially formed command by
typing `C-g'.
