You can get tricky and still use emacs in a fast way to do this. Just leave emacs running all the time, and make sure you have this line in your .emacs file: (server-start) Then you can set $EDITOR to be emacsclient in your .bash_profile (or where-ever you do that sort of thing). When you do a 'cvs commit' it will run emacsclient which sends the text file to your already running emacs (quickly!). Type away, hit 'c-x #' when you are done. You can just try this from the command line with any text file too: emacsclient file.txt After a while you might simply alias vi to be emacsclient :) Bryan ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
