You're probably used to a distribution that installs vim as the standard vi. Debian by default uses nvi, which is smaller, faster, less featureful, and acts almost exactly like every other "standard" vi. You might try installing the vim and vim-rt packages, and using 'vim' instead of 'vi'. (Or, alternatively, adjust the alternatives so that vim is your standard vi.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
