You have entered a line command which cannot be combined with the
preceding commandos.
The system does not allow you to enter different block commands
simultaneously.
For example, if you wish to copy a block using CC .. CC, you must
complete this action before you can move a block using MM .. MM.
It is not possible to combine a block command with a single command.
If, for example, you wish to delete a line using D and a block using
