Enchanter,

there's more than one way to skin the cat,
this is how you do it using registers.

Key binding are for XEmacs;
YMMV on Emacs.

Move to the first line and enter

C-u 10 C-x r n a
C-x ( END C-x r i a C-x r + a HOME DOWN C-x )
C-u 5 C-x e


The bindings are
C-x r n    number-to-register
C-x r i    insert-register
C-x r +    increment-register

increment-register defaults to 1; it can take
an integer prefix for decrementing or incrementing
by other values.



HTH,
Colin S. Miller
