Thanks for your suggestion. I do mostly use vi in console as root, but I'm not a programmer, and I've never figured out how to move or copy blocks of text in vi. I took a posters advice an installed sux which allows me to use kwrite in an su session. What other editor would you have suggested? Chris -- C.
