Type the number of lines to indent, followed by >> to indent by sw spaces
(where sw is a vi variable - do ":set sw" to see the value and e.g. ":set
sw=4" to set to 4 spaces).

I find it easier to use the visual select in vim, rather than giving a
count, but each to their own.

For reference, << will de-indent (outdent?) in the same way.
