Evaluate the expressions I posted using M-: (M-x eval-expression), and
you get that. Or put this in .emacs:

(defun vi-waves ()
  (interactive)
  (setq ol (make-overlay (point-min) (point-max) (current-buffer) t t))
  (overlay-put ol 'after-string "\n~\n~\n~\n~\n~\n~"))

And do M-x vi-waves (repeatedly for more of them). Bind it to a key:
  
(global-set-key [f9] 'vi-waves)

or add it to a hook to enable it whenever you want.


All the best!
