I'd much rather have to use a system with vim and my .vimrc installed, but lacking a few "big" features like syntax highlighting, than have to use nvi. For me, it's a clear win: at least I can edit files. I'm probably a fairly typical vim user. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
