I guess that this email group may not be the group I need. Is there a useful specialised "ex" group, in particular is there a community of ex (or vi/vim +occasional ex) users on MAC OSX. What I consider to be highly undesirable "new" "features" make "ex" (and perhaps vi/vim) extremely awkward to use on MACs and I would dearly like to be able to replace ex by a more comfortable older version eg not wiping image of recent changes on screen on exit. "undo" to "undo" just the last change by default - not all changes since start of session. etc
Any suggestions "what to do" or "where to go for help" would be gratefully received C. Moncrieff
