Oh yeah that's right I forgot! LOL. That was a bit odd the first time I installed Gentoo! I totally understand though. I think the *n?x world would have been a much nicer place if nano had been available as widely as vi. I can't tell you how many people have used vi to exemplify the user-hostility of command line *n?x! Still, the power of vi[m] / emacs indeed merits appreciation. Steven -- Know your neighbor.
