Hi there,

You can also use vim's visual block mode commands to do this sort of thing.

Go to the start of the text, hit CTRL-V to enter visual block mode.
Move the cursor down to the bottom of the text you want to add to. Hit
I, then type, then hit esc.

You can also use this mode to delete text, and do lots of funky stuff.

hello xyz abc 
hello qqwe tertertertet
hello 123 eeeeeee

HTH,

Tim.
