Have you tried :w! Or, if you do not have write permission and are not the owner of the file, you can try saving it as a different filename: :w newfilename If that doesn't work, it probably means that you don't have write permissions in the directory. I would then switch to a different console (or xterm) and fix the ownerships/permissions, and then save the file. If there is an easier way, I don't know it. -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
