dr (define_region) place a mark to define a region
usage:  dr



DESCRIPTION
     The dr command marks some part of the display or some part of a pad.  You
     can use the mark to define a region for a substitute command, to grow,
     shrink, or move a window, or to reposition the cursor.

     You can specify a literal point at which the mark is to be placed by
     preceding the dr command with line and column numbers in a pad, x and y
     screen coordinates, or regular expressions for matching text.  If you do
     not specify a point, the mark is placed at the current cursor position.

     By default, the MARK key invokes the dr command along with echo to
     provide user-visible feedback.
