I personally *hate* ae. I think it is essential to have some vi-clone installed on the bootdisk or at least ed for the advanced users (so that one can fix e.g. /etc/fstab without cut and paste and grep alone). Of course, an ee (or if you must ae) for the newbies should be there too. David -- Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. -- Henry Spencer
