That's one of the reasons to look at vim - every UNIX system comes with vi (subset of vim), so if you know vi/vim, you can work on any strange NIX system. I'm sure most also have emacs and emacs has vi key bindings available. I don't see a need to learn a Windoze-only editor or pay money for an editor when there are such great freeware/open source tools out there. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=162126130 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
