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) "
