   The command is gq, not :gq. Some commands have colons and you   
   construct them on the Vim command line; others do not because you   
   don't. There's a gq but no :gq; however there's both an f and an :f,   
   a q and a :q. Fun!   
      
   Type ":help gq" or ":h gq". It will point out that the command   
   requires a "motion" to indicate the scope of the reformatting. (Some   
   examples, from me not the help file: gq$ for reformatting to end of   
   line; gq} through end of paragraph; gqG through end of file.)   
      
   When you're having trouble with a command, always use the help   
   system. The text is dense, but I've found if I take a deep breath and   
   read carefully it will lead me to a solution to my problem.
