not too shabby here, either. but i really like that first one.
how about coming up with some more clever script examples?
a thousand debianistas are waiting to adore (and newbies are
waiting to learn)...
newbieDoc.sourceForge.net could use your brain...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #48 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
To peruse your CURRENT VIM SETTINGS (there's LOTS of them)
from within Vim, simply do
:options
You can change them there, on-the-fly, as well. Type
"ctrl-W ctrl-W" to switch "panes" or "ctrl-W q" to close one.
Try ":help" to learn more.
