CTRL+Y killed a line. For movement, "diamonds" were used. CTRL+D moved forward one character, CTRL+S back one character, CTRL+X down one line, CTRL+E up one line, CTRL+A back one word, CTRL+F forward one word. It did use multi-character sequences, such as CTRL+K,B to begin a block (similar to setting the mark in Emacs), and CTRL+K,X to exit. I can't believe I remember this stuff. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
