Well, truth be told, I love "vi". Well, actually the variant known as gvim on Linux. Now, edlin on DOS and ed on UNIX? ... And TSO EDIT saved my a$$ at one DR when the TSO ISPF proc had a problem and there was no way to logon other than with the old IKJACCNT line-mode READY prompt available. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
