Make sure that there is no space between % ans s or use an explicit line number range:

:1,$ s/.*15/mv/

Paste into a reply to this thread exactly what you are typing into VI and we'll tell you what you are doing wrong. Perhaps you are in Insert mode while you are trying to make this work. Hit Escape before typing it in.
