A bit bulky ;-) There is already a /bin/vi script that executes ae as vi, as a "least surprise" issue. When running "vi" in an xterm, the help screen would indicate the program to use instead, so I don't see any problems with "expectation". I'm also leaning toward aex and vix, as they will appear in the directory together with their nonx partners. On another part of the problem. I just tried to use a symlink to execute ae with the correct .rc file. I cd'd to the /bin directory (where ae resides) and typed: ln -s '/bin/ae -f /etc/aex.rc' xae and, while it seemed to build the link I desired (it looks good with ls -l) when I try to execute xae, bash tells me the file is not found. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
