Ahh, I'd forgotten what Rot13 was, so I too get to learn something new
today.  Naturally the command is actually Ng?M where N is a number and M
is a movement command, and N defaults to 1 and repeating the command in
place of M operates on the current line.  Hence g?? (but also 2g?w rot13's
the next 2 words). This is the standard pattern for vi commands so

NyM = yank (ie. copy)
so that
yy = yank current line
2yw = yank next 2 words

NdM = delete (ie. cut)
so that
dd = delete current line
2db = delete previous two words (b moves back)

N>M = indent
so that
>> = indent current line by sw.
>G = indent from the current line to end of document (G moves to end of
file)
 
etc.

Don't forget "V" to highlight whole lines and "Ctrl-V" to highlight
'blocks'.
