It seems to me that if you put colons ":" at the front of all the
introductory lines like those above, I could just say "w|sh" to my "rn"
prompt and be done with it, and not have to:
	save the file to /tmp/something, 
	edit it to remove the stuff before the "cut here" line, and
	"!Gsh" the result.
How about it, shar posters?  Or am I missing the easy way already?
