If you're new to Unix/Linux, and you don't actually _need_VI, then use something friendly like MC, or pico, or joe. There's a whole text-book on VI, and this is not a user-friendly thing, and neither is EMACS, altho the old Unix hands will tell you it's the only way. It's not. If you never expect to use a real Unix system, fageddaboudit! (I've probably started a flame war here, but if you investigate for yourself, you'll find that I'm right.) --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
