grep - global regular expression print (i think - close anyway)
vi - visual editor

Both make sense to me.

Yup, grep is quite a tool if not meaningfully named – like vi – at least tail 
gives you a clue.

LOL, well, usually only someone with *nix experience would even use the word 
grep because most windows admins have no clue what grep is.  Never heard of 
this Windows Grep......off to Google to have a look at it.

Where you are seeing strange code

The top line was a path slash slash server slash windows slash system32 slash 
logfiles  slash w3svc1
Next line was asterisk blinks asterisk
Next line after I hope so was three periods
Next line after Me was a spacedash

Beats the heck out of me why it apostrophe s is being rendered that way to you 
guys comma I have never seen this before period

Putting this here so as not to chance adding another message of doom to the 
list comma I said grep because I used a program called Windows Grep to pull out 
the relevant bits from a massive log file smile

What are you using for a mailer?  I'd love to know what makes these
fantastic codes I keep seeing.
