55: How do I insert `>' at the beginning of every line? Type "M-x replace-regexp RET ^ RET > RET". To do this only in the region, type "C-x n M-x replace-regexp RET ^ RET > RET C-x w". WARNING: The command narrow-to-region (C-x n) is disabled by default because it can be very confusing (ie., "Oh no! Where did my file go?").
