Re: [vox-tech] ROT13 in vi?

[Mark Kim <mkkim@MAPSucdavis.edu>]

Actually, I wanted to know the way to do ROT-N, where N is any arbitrary
number, including 13.  Mike's way of doing it was using :tr but I can't
figure it out.  It was something like:

   :%tr/[A-Za-z]/[N-ZA-Mn-za-m]/g

but that doesn't work so obviously that wasn't it.  But it was something
similar.
