Here's another way of saying it (for vi or vim or other vi clone):
1) Go to the top of the region you want to indent.
2) Type "ma" in command mode to set a mark named "a".
3) Go to the bottom of the region you want to indent.
4) Type >'a to indent, one level, everything between the mark named
"a" and the cursor
