The first one is:

.,+15s/first/second/g

I know that the . simply repeats the last operation but i'm not familiar with the rest of it. The other vi command I would like to know is:

10yy (followed by) p

The first command replaces (s) all occurences (g) of first with second in the current (.) and the next 15 (+15) lines. It is supposed to be entered in vim's command line, which can be opened using :. For more information about replacing, see the vim wiki.

The second command copies (yy) 10 lines, starting from the current one, then pastes (p) them below the current line.
