Note that % is used in Ex commands to mean current file. If you want a %
in your command, it must be escaped as `\%'.
However if % is the
first character, it stands as the address for the whole file.
Similarly, `#' expands to the previous file. The previous file is
the first file in :args listing. This defaults
to the previous file in the VI sense if you have one window.

| :!! <args> | Repeat last shell command and append <args> |
| <count> !<move><cmd> | The shell executes <cmd>, with standard
