Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] how do I get out of this?

type

[esc]
:
q
!

that's one character to a line.

Larry - I think emacs people shouldn't do vi posts past 1 in the morning :-)

On a single line:
 !
doesn't mean anything (as far as I know, or you have redefined the !-key, or...)

:<cmd>!
means ignore warning and do it anyway!
 (like  :w! :x!  as in write!  --although file was opened as read-only)
 ( '<cmd>' meaning 'w' or 'x' )

:!<cmd>
means execute shell <cmd>


Wes, BTW, my vi/vim's do provide you with a hint:
 " No write since last change (add ! to override) "
