The first and third are in fact related. They were both fixed by adding 
a parameter to the function 'append_lines' in buffer.c.

But the second is an independent problem that was fixed by making 
several changes to the function search_and_replace in regex.c. 
Previously it used the current address as a loop variable, leaving it at 
the last line in the address range, irrespective of any substitution 
being done or not.

I think not. The append command already left the current address in the 
right place after an empty text.
