VIM is in general to prefer over plain vi. Even though I'm using VIM exclusively for coding I'm the first one to admit that it isn't an easy editor to get used to. I can promise you though that it's worth the effort you'll put into using it. Newsforge has been running a few articles lately on "advanced" topics in VIM. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
