gives me the impression it's refreshing everything from cursor-to-end-of-screen even tho most modern processors wouldn't have much trouble even with that. try the same tests with vim at a console <e.g. alt f3>. try the same tests with vim in rxvt or xterm. try the same tests with gvim in its own window. try the same tests with mc in gnome-terminal. where's the pattern? -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux boss 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #49 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to ENCODE OR DECODE SOME ROT-13 TEXT? No problem. "Vg'f rnfl jvgu Ivz." It's a simple alphabet substitution where each letter changes to its counterpart 13 places away in the alphabet (a<->n, g<->t, etc) . Open the text in Vim, then select it (type "v" at one end of the text to encode/decode, then move to the other end) and then type "g?". Or, to rot-13 a whole line, just "g??". That's all! (Try ":help g?" for more info.) Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
