On "most" Unix systems (including the Suns and SGIs I use on a routine basis) 'vi' is a pretty minimal text editor. vim has *lots* of features that you wouldn't expect a plain-vanilla vi to have. I've gotten used to using 'vim' as my text editor so I know what I'm getting; 'vi' could be anything. (Of course, this isn't to say that I don't use Emacs or even ed to edit things from time to time... :-) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Hey, Doug, do you mind if I push the Emergency Booth Self-Destruct Button?"
