Hi Pigeon,
Does your `find` find dot files?
I use another vi-clone, vim, which saves the temporary files as
.filename.swp
vimdiff (part of the vim package) is really quite stunning, and
perhaps a reason to learn VI

Subject: Nvi recovery program please shove off
Hi,
The other day something dumped me into vi, which I got out of by my usual
method of trying every key combination I can think of, swearing a lot and
doing kill -9 from another vc.
Now I keep getting this mail every time I boot up: (headers snipped)

Obviously the file doesn't exist in /tmp anymore, but doing find / -name
'*L367*' didn't produce any result. Where is it? I want to delete it. I
don't want to view it, and I don't want to recover changes because I haven't
actually lost anything. I just want this annoying message to go away and
recover the filespace.
