You can also read the output of unix commands into the file you are editing (inserted below the current line), such as: :r !pwd :r !echo $APPL_TOP :r !ls -l

Yes, the entire stdout of a command will be read into your file. And of course, you can filter that output: :r !pwd|grep -v whatever or maybe: :r !pwd|grep /
