I know I was recommended against using VI, but it appears stable and the command mode makes a good readonly mode. MAN notwithstanding, is there any kind of quick lookup table of this utility's functions and key combinations please and where? MAN on this SW9 installation doesn't even want to list anything about VI itself, -k searches for anything with "VI" in the subject and this list runs for ages. It doesn't appears in FAQs and HOWTOs. GA! ..... or someone very like me! _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
