Hello, The vi isn't found because its directory probably isn't at the PATH. You may use the full path to call vi (Something like /bin/vi) or edit the PATH variable for this session doing PATH=/bin;$PATH (if your shell is BASH) If you don't use BASH or still have doubts on how to do this, please send another e-mail to the list... Hope it helps. []'s Tiago.
