Haha, yes. But if my students have to administer remote

Reading this thread, it looks like it digressed far away from the original point
($subject) as to why "vi" did not keep the original owner of an edited file.
(also pointed out was that "nano" did)... A reasonable expectation, IMO.
I noted the same thing (to myself). When I looked at the information
provided, I was left with the distinct impression that the 'vi' in use
was not a Cygwin version. The fact that the file edited with it had no
POSIX permissions was a red flag for me. I was going to suggest checking
this but as the conversation had already drifted into other areas, it
seemed of small concern to the larger issues being discussed.
