Uhh, vi is and copyrighted by AT&T and I don't think it is maintained anymore. You don't have it. Now which vi *clone* do you have installed? nvi? elvis? vim? I like vim the best -- it has a lot of really useful features and is very stable, not to mention extremely cross-platform. Try 'antiword' though -- it is really cool at rendering Word docs as plain text. HTH, -D
