F14 and ftp,vi

Hello,
When I try to cut/paste in vi from one window to another ( using Putty )
# is place in front of each line. I do not know is this a vi option I can turn off or not.
google did not help me.

EXAMPLE:
#!/usr/bin/perl
################################################## ##############################
## -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
## # / Date / Person / Description
## 1 / 07/25/11 / Brian M. Cross / Added routing table, removed old files
## 2 / 08/01/11 / Brian M. Cross / Changed host info dir, and disable the
## / removal of old host info files
################################################## ##############################
## Global Variables and Arrays
################################################## ##############################
#
#$asterix = "************************************************* ***********";
#$break = "--";
#$dash = "-";
#$date = `date`;
#$etc1 = "/etc";
#$etc2 = "/etc/";
#$hostname = `hostname`;
#$sep = "----------";
#$temp = "/var/tmp/tools";
#$tmp = "/var/tmp/tools/";

The easiest way is to put a blank line before the insert.

This is a language sensitive editor feature that duplicates the state of the line preceding the insert.

thanks,

But did not work for me
In vi I have tried a , I and o insert a line with all , still adds # to use line when I cut/paste

Works fine for me.

Using "O" for a new line (between comments) will put a #, but it is easy to delete.

Then paste.
