i knew that. and even though i am a vi-only user [1], i do prefer emacs on the shell line. thanks though [1] had a course the other day, ended up teaching advanced TCP/IP to four dudes running linux more or less for the first time. they wanted to though. but as i said 'well, go edit /etc/resolv.conf' i could read on their faces the look of helplessness, and i could feel a hard hit as i realized that *all* i ever knew about editors was vi. call me stupid, but i couldn't even save/quit joe... anyway, now they know vi :) -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] first snow, then silence. this thousand dollar screen dies so beautifully.
