Put Back Commands
-----------------

   Deleted or yanked texts can be put back into the buffer by the
command below.

`p'
     Insert, after the character point is looking at, most recently
     deleted/yanked text from anonymous register. Given a register name
     argument, the content of the named register will be put back.
     Given a count, the command will be repeated that many times. This
     command also checks if the text to put back ends with a new line
     character, and if so the text will be put below the current line
     (`vip-put-back').

`P'
     Insert at point most recently deleted/yanked text from anonymous
     register.  Given a register name argument, the content of the
     named register will be put back.  Given a count, the command will
     be repeated that many times.  This command also checks if the text
     to put back ends with a new line character, and if so the text
     will be put above the current line rather than at point
     (`vip-Put-back').

Thus, `" c p' will put back the content of the register `c' into the
buffer.  It is also possible to specify "number register" which is a
numeral between `1' and `9'.  If the number register N is specified,
N-th previously deleted/yanked text will be put back.  It is an error
to specify a number register for the delete/yank commands.
