Sorry --- I should have given a little more background on
Vim.  When I said to ``run a command'', I meant open your
file in Vim (preferably from the command line):

     vim file.txt

Then, running the Vim commands.  This involves typing a
sequence of characters in quick succession, one after the
other:

	gggqG

These will hopefully format your file correctly.  If you
don't like the result, you can easily abort by typing:

      :q! [ENTER]

And by [ENTER] I mean the [ENTER] key on the keyboard.  You
might have [RETURN] or whatever.  Same effect.

Again, sorry about my earlier brevity.  You naturally
assumed Vim was a simple command-line tool like ``sed'', and
tried to pass it the command as an argument.  It is actually
a text editor.

HTH,
